Yeah the black looks awesome. I really like the dark red too.

We shall see. Also really considering Harley's offer of getting a sportster prior to Aug 31 and having them give me full MSRP back if I trade it in within a year for a big twin (which I would trade it in for a Night Train).

Do it man. And you might wanna see if that offer extends to the XR1200. Technically it's still a sportster...and it's, in fact, sporty.

Ahh, I don't see the Night Train in the 2010 models. WTF?? I'm going to have to stop by a dealer and see what they say about it.

The v-rod really is the perfect ex-rocket guy that wants a HD but with hot rod/speed and agressive seating. They can be moded to EAT other bikes. Closest competition would probably be the new V-Max.

and they both have fuck all ground clearance.

Confirmed. No Night Train for 2010. I have enough saved to buy a Sporty, but don't really want one of those. Was only going to do it for the "ride for a year and get MSRP for the bike when you trade it in..." deal. Oh well, I'll just keep saving until I can afford what I really want! Summer's almost over anyway, so it's not like I'd be riding that much this year before putting the bike away.

Are leaning toward cruiser rather than sportbike at this point?

Yeah. I feel like I could get myself in too much trouble (and have done so) on a sport bike. :lol: Besides, the vast majority of riding that I'd be doing is more suited to cruisers. Indiana has a few fun roads, but they aren't that close to me. If I had my way, I'd have a track bike and a cruiser (and may have that one day), but I think a cruiser would be a better fit at this point.

I'm really looking at the Victory Vegas, but also like the Harley Night Train and Deuce. I have bids in on eBay right now, just trying to get a deal on a used one for the amount of money I have saved up. I may just wait till spring (or very late winter), but if I get the right deal, I'll go ahead and buy now.

I hear ya brother. I'm getting to that point myself.

You're not kidding. I'm not riding to work today because my fucking hand is killing me. Damn Buell clutch.
