Have you guys seen the new Harley Davidson Sportster series? Pretty cool and an easy transition to cruiser from the GS in my eyes. Nice looking bikes even if they are kinda expensive.

Pretty cool looking bike. I rode one of pretty much every Harley made at the Long Beach motorcycle show a few months ago. The sportsters were actually my least favorite Harleys to ride. Both of the sportsters I rode had pretty stiff suspension and insanely twitchy throttles so every time I hit a bump, the engine would change speed in a very uncomfortable way. All the other Harleys didn't do this, so it seemed to be a property of the sportster specifically... It was a fun day though, I rode a bunch of Harleys, a Moto Guzzi, a Victory and a Buell. Riding the Harley Ultra was funny. I spent the whole ride playing with the radio and dragging the floorboards in turns.
That one it nice but I would LOVE this one. :D

Those pretty forks left exposed. The spaghetti frame. I seriously wonder about the steering damper. The bike is too pretty.
