Harly Davidson Vs. Honda

I have a Harley Davidson Sportster 883 low and a Honda Vtx1300s. I love riding both of them. I can’t really say that I like one over the other. Although they each have a completely different ride. The Sportster has a stage one kit on it and seems to have a bit more zip off to the line. It rides a bit stiffer and the seat is rock hard. It is very maneuverable and is great for running about town or the local short hop here or there. But it kills over the long haul. The only downfall it has is that the fuel tank is smaller and I can only run about 100 miles give or take.

The Honda 1300s is a different story. It on the other hand it compares to the Harley Fat Boy I had before. Its ride is great for any long trip. The seat is comfortable and its height is just right. It is however a bit doggish off the line. But after the first quarter it’s a rocket. It has a bigger fuel tank so I can run longer in-between the pumps. It handles like a dream flowing into turns. How ever it is a bit heavier also drive shaft driven it seems to feel a bit stiffer turning to the left.

Both motorcycles cost close to the same price and needed little modification to get them to my standard and comfort zone.

I have had both of these bikes for about a year now. I would recommend either one. I truly do love riding them both.
