Picked this up yesterday. 1995 HD 1200 Sportster. Not top of the line, but HD none the less. Had the Intruder(in background), but it didnt ride a passenger all that comfortably for either party. That was a contingency for the purchase of the Intruder was that I had to take the wife on it. She had never been on a bike before. Ive got her hooked on it now, even thinking about getting her a Rebel or 250 VStar in the spring to learn on for herself.
Anyhow, this bike is way more comfortable 2 up and a more relaxed ride all around. The Intruder felt and sounded like I was doing 120 when I was doing 60. Thats fun in town, but for a long trip, not very relaxing.
Now I need to continue with my horse trading and turn the Intruder into another car(traded the truck for the HD, yes the nice green Silverado). Love it when the wife lets me make monetarily and possibly responsibility stupid deals. We still have the robot van, so were not car-less(05 Caravan with stow-n-go and all the electric doors,we can open both sliding doors and rear hatch from across the parking lot with just the push of a button, hence robot van).
