    Ok, so JB was right, I just needed to get use to the feeling of the sporty!!! I did it, I even went out on the highway and had her to 60 in no time. The seat is not the most comfortable but the handling of the bike is way more comfortable then my bike. :D

    :D I'm pretty excited that I did it!! Told JB that he'll be riding my bike because the sporty is mine. It does handle a lot better. I told him no wonder he is flying around the curves, my bike doesn't handle like that at all.

    That's good , It handles better because your bike has a factory rake on it , that's more the the sporty , two of my sisters had a intruder & nether like the way they handle , one trader hers in on a Honda & the other just sold her's keep us up to date on how your riding the sporty improves :D

    :D Yep, just need a little time for good ole whiplash and I to become comfortable with each other. It has way more throttle then the Suzki and it shifts so much smoother and everything better. Went to go put the bikes in the garage and when I got on the sporty didn't want to park it right away but I had to :(.
