I work as a harley mechanic, ive seen some shit done with Sportsters!! Sportyts kick ass for what ever you wanna do with em'! Ive seen Cafe sportsters, bobbers, rigid tail choppers, flat track bikes, and they are also great for drag racing, land speed racing, road racing, riding fire roads, a sportster is the ultimate dual sport for almost everything BUT single track and stuff that requires a lot of ground clearance
