Hi, I'm new to this group and thought I might be able to get some thoughts and feedback. I've been riding for about 30 years, all *** bikes and one Triumph (old Daytona, loved it!). I've decided that this year I'm going to finally get my first Harley. I know that most choices are made on personal taste and every one has their own and I love the looks of some of the big twins like the FXD and Night train (V-Rod's just a bit too wild for me, price and looks!). I'm more of a sport rider with an occasional short (100 mi) trips. Because of my personal tastes I am really drawn toward the XL1200S and figured that this would be a good first Harley. Problem is that I can't find one. I've had two dealers tell me that they just are not as popular as the XL or Custom so thay don't carry as many. I find that hard to beleive. The Sport has dual disks in front, adjustable suspension, higher compression (a few more HP) and dual plugs. What gives? Am I missing something here? Even Ebay has more used XL's and C's. Am I making a bad choice?
Thanks for listening and ride safe!
