How do you figure a Sportster is a girls bike? Where did you "dig" into it? Couple of facts, it has a higher ground clearance than any Soft Tail (amazing because most men are taller than women), or the V-ROD, a 1200 Sportster will dust a standard 88B Twin Cam, and it much more manuverable. Now that they are rubber mounted and have larger tanks on them they are probably some of the best bikes around. If your riding a bike because of the "stigma" attached to it, your a f'n poser. I am sorry you have such a weak constitution that you worry about what everyone else thinks. Why do you drive a Porsche? Just because it has an emblem on it or do you like the performance? If you just want the looks why dont you just buy a damn Kia and slap a Jaguar hood orinament on it?
