    My bike is almost identical to that one; my first Harley. Quite a machine. Took it from New Mexico to Alaska, back to Colorado, and now in Ohio. Taking care of it, minor maintenance and a drive belt broke. Love it.

    In my opinion, the XL1200, is the best, most, reliable bike in the Harley lineup, today........cause it still uses the EVO engine design, and uses Metal Gear Drive to operate the 4 cams in the bike, unlike the big twins, with the Twin Cam engines, with lots of PLASTIC, in critcal areas of cam operation and chain drive, for the cam drive, instead of METAL GEAR DRIVE.
    Go, Sporty........

      I agree with all of the above EXCEPT the engine/drive train. The XL883 is just as good but has smaller engine and shorter gears. The 1200 is better for the highway. The 883 is better for the 2-lanes with twisties, especially mountains. Both models have forward or mid-controls but the "C" (Custom) ONLY has forwards. Neither controls are better, it's a personal choice. I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE my 2005 XL883 Standard with mid-controls but I am vertically challenged, so there's that. If you have long legs and like to slouch, the forward controls are better for you.

    My 07 XL 1200 is one of the best, a riders bike thats perfect for that 2hr ride after work. Change the stock clutch out at 15K and get rid of the Grenade ring (put a Barnett in). you'll have to do the Rocker Box gaskets, but the engine is Bullet proof. Bike is a dream to ride & unless you love express ways, it will be your go to choice. Rent a Glide or King for those Extended rides, & bank the 22K. These are available every fall for 5-7K and you can ride them for peanuts.

      Those helmets don't give enough full face protection and are not legal in most of the rest of the world, real surprised they are in Canada, in some state in America you don't have to wear a helmet at all so you ARE taking your life in your hands. The Beanie helmet looks kinda cool but it can come off your head so easily in an accident even if it is strapped on fairly tight, with a full face you just can't hear the roar of a Harley and I love that but I wear a full face too.

    Hey Wesley, beautiful XL1200C! Your 2005 Sportster is carburated to fuel injected? I see you operate the choke and the engine sounds carburated. I thought HD phased out carburated engines before 2005?

    • @Wes20w50
      @Wes20w50  10 років тому +3

      Hello Nicolas, this bike was carburated and was very cold blooded, no matter if it was a hot July day, it still needed the choke open to start. Fuel injection was offered as an option for Harley-Davidson's popular FL-series Touring motorcycles starting with the 1996 model year, but in 2007 became standard equipment on all Twin Cam engine models, which now included all Touring, Dyna and Softail models. Only the Sportster series remained old school and retained the carbureted Evolution engine. For the 2008 model year, that series also lost carburetors in favor of Harley-Davidson's Electronic Sequential Port Fuel-Injection system.

      Just a quick question. This is my first Harley. Got it two years ago this coming November and the battery always dies on me. It is good if I ride at least once every week, but any longer lapse in riding than that battery is dead. Did you experience that problem or has anyone with the Sportster 1200 in this time period?

      Like I said before, nothing was wrong with the starter, battery was completely dead. It had enough juice from all night of charging for one start that was it. I put a new battery in it before I sold it and it work just as it should no pause. At the time I had 3 other motorcycles and that one was being driven the least (two years maybe 100 km on it). No point on keeping it if I never drive it, love my fatboy to much, have 11 000km on it and counting just this summer alone, anyways keep the shinny side up, cheers.

    Sad, really. I went through it with my '89 883.
    See, that little pause, when you first hit the starter, is something I am familiar with.
    It's you starter dragging. That dragging starter will eventually blow your circuit breaker.
    That's what happened to me, only I was dealing with some really ignorant fucks for technicians, and my warranty was well over, by the time I decided to "place an order" to have the starter replaced.
    You have to STAY ON TOP of the techs.
    It's sad to see that they can STILL BE PLAGUED the same way. that made me unhappy. Otherwise, it's a cool bike. BUT I WANT IT TO START WITHOUT FAIL.

      It was not the starter, the battery was completely dead, it would have enough juice to start it once then that was it, new battery and it was fine, sold it because I had three other bikes at the time and it was getting driven the least.

      Why did the battery go dead?
      Or, I should ask you why you think I was the only one in the neighborhood that had to replaced bike batteries as often as I had to?

    • @Wes20w50
      @Wes20w50  9 років тому +1

      The battery was dead because I had not driven in 2 years, hence the reason I was selling it

      Battery, and that's because you can have a brand new battery installed. Let it sit for a month and you will have to charge that battery until the bike's running again and the alternator recharges the battery. The battery is constantly using juice because of the Anti-Theft mechanism

    @Wesley Moore what do you think about 883 ?

    • @Wes20w50
      @Wes20w50  9 років тому +1

      All depends what you want in a bike. A 883 or a 1200, both good motor, never had any problems, it is good for single riding, but personally if you want to have your wife or girlfriend on the back do not expect to go far. The girlfriend and I will go out ridding anywhere's from two to eight hours on my fatboy, providing I have the back rest on and she never complains, only time I have to stop is when she says she is starting to fall asleep. I also own a 2013 streetbob which I love as well but even that is only really meant for one person as she gets uncomfortable. With the sportster she could only ride for an hour then would want to go home from sore back. Like I say it is up to you, what you think you can handle or what your comfortable with, if its an 883 you like then so be it do not let anyone else tell you otherwise, as well this is just my point of view. Another question to ask yourself is if you plan on keeping this bike for a long period of time, look down the road at something you would actually really want, as it may just end up costing you more money going from bike to bike. Anyways that's just my two cents. Good luck with your decision, keep the shinny side up, cheers.

      Wesley Moore I get the same thing when I tell people I'm looking at Sportsters, "nah you don't want that, get a Dyna Wide Glide/Street Bob/Switchback/yada yada." I'm looking for a bike to go to/from work, ride around town, and maybe the occasional cruise. The big fully-dressed touring bikes are works of art but are really two-wheeled cars and don't appeal to me.

      +Wesley Moore Interesting. I want my first bike to be a sportster 1200, but I have my fiancee. She would most likely only be comfortable for short distance riding then? Like around town or so?

    • @Wes20w50
      @Wes20w50  8 років тому

      The bike was good for around town, but not long rides. I now have a fatboy & a streetbob, and my wife finds those way more comfortable, not to mention there is more power for 2-up riding. She can sit on the fatboy all day long, the streetbob maybe 2-3 hours then she starts feeling uncomfortable.
