Default bike discription

Just watching men & motors and a program came on "Custom Choppers" ; one of the segments was on Harleys and they had Jason from Riders of Bridgewater (Harley Dealers) talking about the range of bikes available, fair enough.

But I nearly choked on my scotch when he called a 1200 sportster custom a "awesome good ride, pure streetfighter bike".

So I take it Harley don't let their salesman ride the bikes then

whilst for sometime BMW and Harley have their own take on the word "Sport" it would seem they are seeing them now as streetfighters ?

Cheers Mark.

I've ridden a 1200 sportster, and posted about it before.

I'm firmly with you Mark, the guy making that comment clearly hasn't even seen a picture of one!!
