Excellent Review.. Love all of thescenic pictures (this is why I like MOs photos the best Fonz) commentary. I really feel like I know a lot more about these bikes now. That said if I went to the dark side and started riding cruisers the Harley meets my bling bling requirements. i.e I would be into the looks and the cool HD thing. I have toyed with buying my wife an 883 for Christmas or her birthday. Should would look very nice in black leather and boots on a Sportster. Contrary to Sean's derogatory comments, my wife is a pretty blond, green-eyed Irish tempered firecracker. I prefer the Victory bikes looks overall but I do like the V-Rod. I could see my wife and I on his and her V-Rods. I would rather have his and her sportbikes but she isn't an adrenaline junkie like me.
