      This is a concept for the upcoming R1200R. Given my association with that bike, it's whetted my appetite…

      Unfortunately they always come up with sexy previews, and the reality tends to be less exciting, as the first spyshot of the new model shows…

                      The Sportster Forty Eight is a nice bike, but the bigger Harleys are supposed to be easier to ride and better machines. I'd look at something like a Street Bob.

                      If you're after something in a similar vein, the BMW R nineT is a more capable road bike, will be more fuel efficient, and looks gorgeous.

                      Or there's the Moto Guzzi California.

                        NineT is a sweet bike, but may be impossible to find until the newness wears off.

                          The NineT is currently sold out until next year according to my local dealer.

                          The R1200R is probably a better machine, but not as sexy. Hence my hopes that next year's model will be closer to the concept, above.

                            I started with a Sportster 1200 - definitely a fun bike, easy to ride - but you may very likely want something bigger at some point. I currently have a 06 Street Glide, an 03 Fat Boy and my old 97 Dyna Low Rider. I like them all for different reasons…

                              Nice bike Finn, I love the look of the 48, but after looking into them it sounds like the bigger bikes are a lot better if you're tall (I'm 6'3").  I'm not sure how tall you are but something to consider.  I love the look of the Dyna Wide Glide. The problem is narrowing down the choices, the RNineT looks awesome too, and there's something about the Triumph classic line up that is hard to resist.

                                i'm like 5'11" so not really that tall Mich 🙂

                                thanks for the feedback guys. it still may be a bit until i'll purchase, so def. open for more infos and suggestions…

                                since i'm just getting started into the whole motorcycle thing (dreaming about owning with since buying my first scooter at the age of 15), i'm more into 2nd hand bikes, which doesn't cost a fortune and don't need to be in perfect shape so that i'm still able to work on it on my own.
                                just sth. to get started 🙂

                                    I'm not a motorcycle guy at all, but that Moto Guzzi is just fantastic.

                                      the 48 is the best looking bike they have produced in years,however if i was looking for a first harley and ive had quite a lot of them,i would look for a evo engine electra glide or road king ,the bat wing fairing on the glides are great if you like putting in the miles ,the 48 is great for a town (ish) bike but i personally wouldnt want to ride it very far .tyhe old evo engine bikes are super reliable and when dechromed and flat blacked look great .
                                      whatever you get finn ,make sure you get a nice metalflake open face helmet  😉

                                        a friend of mine has the 48 and i really felt in love with it. what you think about the dyna though?
                                        the one from @Forrest6775 is the bomb.

                                          You can't beat a Sporty as a first bike - so easy to ride, build confidence.  But agree it's a town bike - you take a trip (even a short trip) with someone on a bigger bike and they will grind you into dust.  And I love Dynas - that one is nice - like the little fairing.

                                            my preference is for glides and hard panniers as i like the bagger look and the bat wing fairing is great .
                                            the thing with harleys is everyone has there own taste and style more so with these bike more than any,my preference is to dechrome and flatt black most things ,lower the bike and get that hot rod look .
                                            myself i would love a 48 ,i did take one out for a test ride a while ago and loved it ,it is the coolest bike they make at the moment .
                                            whatever you get make sure you get one of these.
