    This is a question for you motorheads. What's your opinion of the Harley Sportster XL1200N? Here's one on Ebay I found.

    Tom,

    I love the looks of the Nightster (XL1200N) and I was looking at getting one, but when I went to my local Harley dealership and sat on one it was just too small for me. I felt cramped up with the foot pegs at the middle of the bike, and even when I sat on one with forward controls (foot pegs out front) it still felt too small. Now that was me, but I have a feeling (and no offense here because we've met and I know how tall you are) that it would be just perfect for you.

    It's a great bike. Very torquy engine and still small enough to whip around turns so it should be a blast.

    Hope that helps.

    Mark

    That Nightster is very cool... I have no experience with it, but I do like the look.

    If I were to get a harley (not anytime soon) it would be the VRSC though
