Came from a sporty, crouch down, corner hugging Suzuki GSXR600 to a ride carefully, hear me roar, wake up in the morning and wanna ride to work Sportster 1200CA 2014 model. The sound coming from the Vance and Hines pipes are incredibly throaty and give a great rumble to the ride. Tried the Iron 883 at the time and yes, power was sadly lacking. The 1200 though, has plenty of torque at pickup and doesn't struggle on the highway. Sure, you can't put your knee down and hug corners like a sports bike, but I'm getting a little too wise for that anyway. You can still have fun in the twisties - just need to go a little slower to protect those pipes! It's a very comfortable ride with seat and foot positioning at an upright position. Fuel economy is good at 16km/L. Overall, couldn't be happier with the bike and I just want to get and ride her whenever I can.
