Compared to a Sportster

So, my psychotic wife insisted we buy a 2008 copper top anniversary Sportster 1200 last October. She still has not taken the MSF class to learn how to ride a sickle. I ride it now and then just to keep things oiled on the inside. Don't get me wrong, this thing has power up the wazoo. HD put the old cam back in, instead of what came with my 2002 model, and this thing moves. But I still feel vibration with the rubber mounted engine. The rider's position on my 2002 was better for me. The point is .... I prefer my Triumph America 865 over the Sportster 1200. Just as quick, although at higher RPMs, smoother & quieter.

If I were to consider replacing the FXR, and that would take a lot to get me there, I'll seriously consider the Thunderbird. That's a sharp looking bike and lots of power.
