This thread is for those who are undecided!

I'm the same....LOVE my 883; ride her every day to and from work summer and winter.  Nothing better for acceleration and being nimble in traffic.  I have cheated and still have the old FXR though...

Yep, love my 883. Have had it since new, 7 years now. Dealer keeps trying to convince me to "upgrade" to a dyna or soft tail, but the nimbleness of the sporty wins me back every time. Would like another Harley of course, but if I do get one I will be keeping the sporty for sure. TC

Other way round here, went from a 48 to Low Rider S. Have not thought about my sporty since hitting the starter on that big 110ci donk :)

My 48 did look trick though, the LRS sort of just blends in.

Great thread this one.  I love my Sporty, best bike I've ever had.  In fact my main interest in HD revolves around Sporty's.  I had a Street Bob years ago, was a good bike, but the Sporty is much more fun to ride.

I would love to have a sporty sitting in the garage for shorter trips, the tourer is great on long rides but not so much around town.

Hi All 

I rode around Australia 15,000 km's on my 1200 sporty.  

Love the 1200 Custom. It's light and nimble to ride between GC and Brissy peak hour traffic and back. I sometimes wish it had a 6th gear for those long clear roads. Modding it up bit more to accommodate luggage. 

Think of it as a bigger sporty with a huge engine :)

Just as nimble, just as maneuverable in traffic (I am a bigger boy though)

turn the throttle and you cant compare them, although on paper my sporty made 87hp with cams and a whole bunch of shit done to it, the LRS only makes 90rwhp but the torque figures are 50% greater.

sporties rule! lol, nah they are good, like the custom coz it has a reasonable fuel range, and once you get rid of the crap rear shockers, it`ll cruise well enough for me (((-;

 Krash it's a solid mount 2001, that trip makes me want to do more big ride but probably not on a sporty. I will never sell the sporty but will buy another bike for touring.                     

 love my Iron 883. Have had it since new, 4 years now. Use it day in day out  the nimbleness of the sporty  stands out , Would like another Harley of course, but if I do get one will be keeping the sporty for sure

well done Skirtster!!

I carried 5litres of petrol, only needed once. Between Port Headlands and Roebuck there is 300km between roadhouses, I sat on 100k's the whole way and ran out 280k's. On average I was getting between 200 to240k's per tank.
