The Sporster as an Entry Level Bike? I Think Not!

by Matt on November 7, 2007

We all know better. Harley knows better. But that poor, unsuspecting first time buyer is going to get way more than they bargained for when they realize that the Sporty they just bought is not an entry level bike like it’s reputation implies. Except in price, that is.

We’ve all known for a long time, but I don’t hear many people talking about it. The facts are right there; the Sporty’s are quicker, more reliable, tremendously more nimble and lets be honest, much prettier than their bigger V-Twin brethren. After all, the Sporster is the model that they made the Buell around.

I’ve drag raced plenty of Sporty’s in my day, and I’m here to tell you from experience, these things are simply bad-ass. Many folks don’t usually realize what they’ve got until they’ve ridden something else. But for many, that never happens because they’re satisfied with their “entry level” bike.

Perhaps that’s why Harley Davidson markets them the way they do?
