As a former 883 Sportster Deluxe owner.. It was just a cute little bike. The motor was noisy, not rubber mounted and vibrated like crazy at 70mph. I was constantly looking for a gas station (small tank). If you want a bar hopper, it should do the trick. However, if you want to actually go for a ride, it's hard to recommend a Sportster. By the way, it was sold after eight months of ownership. The Softail Custom I owned was really nice. I just don't see the point of going from a Triumph to a Sportster. To each his own.


Didn't buy into the hype, you can keep the change.
