I'm tentatively excited about the Street 500. I've wanted a Sportster for a long time, but chose other things over it (being a ski bum for a while, for instance). I like the idea of an even slimmer, more city-friendly, more modern Harley. Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be the next Buell Blast.

Yeah, I'm still mulling over my options. I have several months until I'll have the money saved up anyway. Ultimately I'll probably just test-ride one after I do my MSF and feel it out from there. Before I found out about the Street, I was looking for an Ironhead, since a running one in good shape is still only about three grand and the insurance, even with comprehensive, is about nil. I may still go with that.

They're really going out on a huge limb with this new design... liquid cooled, 60 degree bend, under 500lb (okay, barely), actually putting some effort into making it handle well (they say). Part of me just wants to buy it on principle, to thank them for stepping out of their Boomer-Filled Safe Zone.

It's not just price, but that's good to know. I'm still a ways off, so I'm sure I'll be doing more research between now and the summer, but if there's known problem areas to keep an eye out for, I'd appreciate any input. I'm assuming taking a careful look for rust, chain wear, and obviously making sure it starts/runs. I'm not looking for a project, but I'm fine with some scrapes and wear.

I grew up riding ratty dirt bikes from the late 60s and 70s, (e: just realized this makes me sound older than I am; I'm 27) so the same (ee: probably broken) part of me that wants a cruiser also gets really excited at the idea of doubling down to get one with rigid mounts, chain drive, and kickstart.

That said, those ratty dirt bikes were also all metric, Honda XL175s and Hodakas and poo poo, so I may not have a great perspective on how much headache I'll be in for with a 30-40 year old Ironhead.

Looks like this thread could use a bump.
First Harley, a 1977 Sportster;

Current Scoot, a 2001 Ultra Glide;

As for Ironheads, they are a mechanic's bike, if you don't like wrenching avoid them. The transmission wasn't bad mechanically wise it just didn't have all the gears it really needed, the sporty had a four speed when it really wanted/needed a five speed.

Thanks for the input! I'm probably going to look for an Evo; I don't have a lot of tools and not needing to buy a ton would be helpful.

Boomers aren't buying bikes anymore, and Harley knows it. A production liquid-cooled small-displacement v-twin, and now this.

I hope they don't completely step away from the old-school stuff though.

Good to know it doesn't look cobbled-together or cheap in person. I'm kinda hoping the low power numbers are designed as a detuned setup so you can get a little more out if it without having to swap out major stuff besides exhaust.

at this point, "iron" and "883" are synonymous, aren't they? I think it's the only model left that offers the smaller evo.

One of my favorite parts about Sonny Barger's memoir was when he lamented the apparently permanent link between american outlaw motorcycle clubs and Harleys. He makes it clear that he's loved every Harley he's ever ridden, but goes on to talk about how, especially early on, when they were chopping and rebuilding they weren't just trying to make cool poo poo, they wanted to go fast. They rode Harleys because after Indian folded the only large-displacement bikes on the market were Harley, BSA, and Triumph, and most guys wanted to buy American.

He talks about how he understands the attachment, but that European and Japanese makes "do 110 out of the box now" and thinks it would have been cool if biker clubs had kept up with technology.

It's a good read for anyone interested in the history of Harley culture, outlaw clubs, or even just the Bay Area in general.
