Call me an "Old Geezer" if ya want, but I remember the days when a Sportster was NOT considered a "girl's bike", and it and any Brit 650cc Twin were considered 'Big Bikes'.



(...and if I recall correctly, I THINK it was JUST before the average American grew 50 or more pounds overweight by eatin' too freakin' much and the wrong kinda crap!)

Yep,me too Dwight.The only HD I ever owned was a 1974 XLH 1,000cc Sportster,and 650s were big bikes.The 750 honda 4 and 900 Kawasaki were enormous.I stood next to a restored 750 honda the other day and it looked like a toy.The 650s now look like 250s and if I sit on a sportster it's like putting a gorilla on a mini bike.The sportster is still cool looking bike IMO but I'm twice the man I was[twice the size I was anyway ]
