Riding position is good and the Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 is a reliable bike. Only been out in the rain 3 times and when I took it back to the dealer they said Harley would not accept responsibility or repair it they said as it was more than one component it must be misuse. Bike was only 12 months old!!

My Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 is a 2004 Custom with 2700 miles on it and its kept garaged. All the chrome has fallen off my rear wheel, like tin foil, the chrome has bubbled in numerous other places such as front wheel and mirrors. The laquer on the fork bottoms has failed and the alloy has corrosion. I could see right through holes in the sceaming eagle filter after 2700 miles. The side panels are held on by the low quality plastic fixings I've ever seen. The suspension cannot handle two up at all. The ground clearance is appalling on right handers with the exhaust decking out on every roundabout. Harley don't do a locking fuel cap as standard. I mean a 700 chinese bike has one but not a Harley! No rev counter and this thing needs one badly. I could continue but I think you will have got the picture. This next bit will come as a surprise.... I love my Harley its great to ride despite all of the above.

So this review isn't so much for the bike as it is for the Harley service? Sounds like you would give the bike itself 4 or 5 stars.
