I bought my new-to-me 2005 Sporty two years ago and I've put more miles on it since then than the total miles put on it by the previous owner. I must be doing something right! This is my first Sportster (I never wanted a Harley, but I always wanted a Sportster.) and I've enjoyed wrenching on it as much as riding it. It may look stock, but it isn't!!! Love it!
