Especially when, say, rolling away from a stop. Otherwise, power and throttle response are smooth and linear. Furthermore, the Twin feels like it has enough power in reserve to pull a taller top gear than what feels like a short-ish fifth gear in the five-speed box.

My wife is 4'10" and 95 lbs. She rides this bike like a banchee. She can easily hit mph on the open road. We bought it new, and have done nothing to it except oil changes and tires in 3 years. I ride a big 96ci and I can;t keep up with her light to light in the city. If you are a smaller person or a beginner rider, this is the Harley for you!!! I really love my Iron It is a great bike to commute to work on. It handles great and has enough power for the type of bike it is. It makes getting to work fun, and it is cool for rides on the weekend.

The Harley-Davidson XL Sportster is a basic, budget way into Harley ownership: that possession prized by anyone whose idea of heaven is a long, straight, American highway and for whom Peter Fonda remains the ultimate role model. Pulling in the heavy clutch and stamping into first gear with a hefty clunk, the bike thrums along pleasantly with a linear and unthreatening power delivery. There is a long throttle action and the whole bike vibrates purposefully beneath you. This generates a vibe through the foot pegs and handlebars, which becomes seriously noticeable when you start to push on. It is important to note though that 'pushing on' is not what Harley-Davidsons are about though. Whack it in top gear and cruise along gently and they will return smiles all day long. Weighing kg but offering just 50bhp, the Harley-Davidson XL Sportster is a lot of motorcycle to move. Ground clearance is a problem if you tip it in too far, the brakes are just about ok and the gearbox, whilst predictably clunky, does the job. A low seat height of mm inspires confidence and would be ideal for new or shorter riders, however as the pegs are so far forwards, anyone smaller than around 5ft6in would start to struggle to operate the foot controls.
