Is it better than a sportster?
Missus is looking at getting rid of her 883.

Or can we move this to Social (sorry)

i'd keep the sportser, at least it'll keep its resale value.
there used to be a Sachs dealer here in warrington, in the year they were open i think they sold 1 bike!.....

It looks like a Buell wannabe, but heavier and with a smaller displacement engine. If she is looking at this bike, why not an xb9? Or even just take the plunge, and look at an xb12sg if she is short of inseam?
We had a very nice series of Triumphs to drool over on a recent thread - I think if I were in the UK I would be sorely tempted, over an 883 sportster. But personally, I would give a big thumbs up to any bike that would get my wife out riding as much as possible. If she isn't really excited about the sportster any more, she needs some good options and encouragement from you.

Looks nice to me, I allways liked them.

I know nothing about them though.

N.

I was chatting to a bloke with one. He liked it. Suzuki engine isn't it ?

........ personally would rather walk.

X9S would be better IMO.
