After seeing the gorgeous 1200 Sportster for sale on here, I thought I would pop down to my local HD dealer, have a test ride to see if I was right at 6" 2" it was too small. I am sorry to say it is.

I then got talked into a test ride and went out in a Softail lowrider S. Now I only have ever had sport or naked bikes, from Aprilla RSV Factory, Suzuki 750, and KTM Superduke R and the one thing I realise is I love a V twin.

Now this is what surprised me the most, I have been anti HD all my rider time, but I bloody loved it, grin from ear to ear.

I have narrowed it down to 2 models Softail low ride S or Street Bob. Both are blacked out (not a massive chrome fan) I have seen the difference spec to know the difference, but I feel I like I prefer the street bob look.

I am interested (after watch so many youtube clips) if any one has experience of both bikes and which they preferred and why.

My head says Low ride S, my heart says Street Bob.

Many thanks
