If you're the type a person who cares about what others say or think, that might be an issue
. So, how did you determine that a sportster 'IS' a girl's bike btw? IMO, it's more like having a sports car verses a SUV. When I see a female on a HD, it's almost always not a sportster.... I'm not offended (I have an '87), but have never understood this point of view, and YES, you will hear it from the typical HD crowd. BTW Steve, I think I'm going to sell mine...if you think you'd be interested in a sporty (I'm not trying to sway your opinion), shoot me a PM.
