 Harley Davidson Sportster series  is the longest running motorcycle model line-up ever manufactured.

Here are some of the reasons why  Harley Davidson Sportster is still one of the favorites of every bike-loving individuals:

1. The old vibration issue is a thing of the past. In 2004 Harley engineers started rubber-mounting their 883 cc evolution engine which assures smoother rides for bikers. The Sportster became reliable and durable as ever.

The Harley Sportster may be a little pricier compared to other metric bikes plus add any accessories you like from the plethora of selection in the HD catalogue, you are sure to turn heads around with your  personality-laden custom bike. If you are in it for the long haul, you wouldn’t mind  plunking a couple grand for you have one of the best bikes around. You never see the same Sportsters exactly alike.

You don’t have to remortgage your house or cash in your IRA.
