My first bike was 1200 Forty-Eight. They’re top heavy but take it slow and you are good. Honestly the Softail street bobs handle better than sportsters in my opinion, the motor is too big as a first bike though. If it’s not your first bike and just your first Harley then you want to skip Sportster’s 100% go right to Softail or bigger

​@Jonathan Glazer yeah, Jerry Palladino teaches the same in his classes. I took the Louisiana State Troopers MSC several years ago, thats also what they teach. I have always covered my brake while riding in traffic in town or when behind a vehicle on the highway. I consider it defensive driving, you never know what that person is gonna do and always assume that they don't know that you're there because about 75% of the time they dont, so always assume the worse and be prepared to react. Its only a panic stop if you're not prepared and you start grabbing for brake, then its guaranteed that you're gonna lock it up and probaly lay it down. If your brake is covered and your calm and alert watching whats going on ahead of you in every direction you shouldnt freak out. If you're that dang nervous and on edge, you're not ready to be in traffic, plain and simple. I personally haven't ever went through HD's course but from what I have heard about it I don't necessarily agree with all the techniques. I went to the State Police course even though I have ridden since I was a kid and I thought that it was a very informative, I learned that I still had bad habits. A good defensive driving course is also a smart idea, they are geared toward cagers but they teach you some invaluable lessons. Riding a motorcycle is a fulltime exercise in defensive driving.

I suggest looking for a really good deal on a used Harley of your liking, learn to ride on it (le$$ painful learning bumps) and then trade it in for your dream bike. You can start on anything, I learned to ride on a road King and it was super easy. Of course there will be obstacles but riding a motorcycle is learned by training sessions and practice, most of which you can now a-days learn on your own by watching you tube. Having said all that, If you are really tall you will have difficulty riding small frame bikes and it will hamper your learning, the same can be said for the reverse.

I'm a little different as my Dad started me riding mini bikes as soon as I could hold one up, and Im 52 now, so I've been on a few bikes in my time. I had been riding motorcycles for most of my life when I started on a big bike, everyone said to start on a Sportster, and I did when I was 18, a 86 1200. I absolutely hated it, I felt cramped and uncomfortable. In my opinion, a Sportster is NOT a good starter bike, they are top heavy and light which makes them very unstable in traffic or windshere. I'm am 6'1 200lbs with a 34 1/2 inseam and arms that hang to my knees, though so a Sportster did not fit me at all. The mid controls on it made me feel like a grown man on a tricycle. I always recommend a Softail model to a beginner, the Street Bob, Slim, Deluxe, or Heritage. They are a little heavier, but they are, nimble, well balanced and have a low center of gravity, which makes it stable in traffic and very rider friendly. They are what I call a forgiving bike, as far as they are reactive in turns, it doesnt take a lot to make them lay into a turn but they dont have the lean angle of say a Road King so low speed maneuvering takes some practice. I always tell new rider's to stay away from Sportsters, if you want to start on a smaller bike, get a Shadow 750, or Vulcan or something of that nature. That's just my opinion, honestly I tell people buy what you want and learn to ride it, but be realistic. If you're 5'5 and 130 lbs and have never sit on a bike, don't go buy a Road King or Road Glide. Take it slow, practice low speed maneuvering and braking everyday until it becomes second nature and the very most important thing......learn and practice defensive driving.

Not really true. Speed plays a big role in how you apply your breaks. Slow speed, more rear break. Faster speed, slightly more front, so the bikes front dips to get better traction. I'm probably not explaining it well so take some motorcycle classes. Everyone can benefit from more training.

A Harley of any kind is not a good first motorcycle. Any small running Jack bike is much better suited someone to learn how to ride on because you were going to fall down and go boom. I saw a video with a new Rider on a brand new Sportster and she went down and had $1,400 for some damage. There is a reason why everybody used to use a nice little Honda 250 Rebel to learn how to ride a motorcycle on. I learned how to ride a motorcycle on the rebels ancestor the 185 Honda Twinstar. I put $36,000 miles on that bike on my learner's permit all over the state of Florida. I outgrew it the Honda shop rebuilt it sold it to a lady who learned how to ride on it and was using its teach her daughter how to ride. I wonder how many people learned how to ride a motorcycle because of my little Honda 185 TwinStar getting passed around for people to learn how to ride on and then getting past to somebody else. It introduced me to the joy of two wheels. That's a bike you learn how to ride on not any kind of Harley used or otherwise.

I saw a Shovelhead dresser on a trailer I went inside the gas station asked how much the big red motorcycle was outside and I was told it was $1,000. I didn't know what a Harley was I just saw a great big red full dress motorcycle and the size intimidated me and I knew that was not the bike for me to learn how to ride on. I am so happy that I had a bike that was suitable for me to learn how to ride on because there were no bad experiences and meet learning how the pleasures of two wheels.

Very true but not necessarily always true. I learned on a 77 Yamaha 125 Enduro on/off road, before I was even close to the legal age for a driver license. I lived in the country so we tore the backroads up. I also rode dirt bikes from the time I could hold up a bike. Then when I got a license my dad taught me on a old 70's model Yamaha 750 street bike that he had put about a million miles on. Then I got a Sportster 1200, which I hated, at 18. In my opinion Sportsters are not beginner bikes....period, especially if your 6'1. At the same time I know people who as you said, started on a Rebel, some on that started on Sportsters, I know people that started on a Electra Glide, Road Glide or Road King. It's all in what you want, your physical stature, how much common sense you possess and quite honestly your fear level. I think people who start at a young age tend to get on small bikes first, older people want to jump right on a big bike because they dont want to take 10 years to actually learn proper technique. Honestly not all people should be on 2 wheels despite how bad they want to be.

Not everyone takes three years to learn to ride. Some are better than others and learn faster🤷🏻‍♂️.

I'm looking for my first Harley. Not my first bike. Maybe should have been titled differently.

im sorry, but this is so wrong! A) suggesting a street 500 over a sportster 883 is so screwed up, they dont even make streets anymore! and B) saying the softtail is the higher end of bikes instead of the baggers or trikes..... just wrong. i went from a Kawasaki vulcan 900 to a Street Glide, ride what you like!!

Front brakes only provide you with a fraction of the stopping power? Sorry your dead wrong.

I be seeing little last women on packed out full dressers so there is not one excuse to see a full-grown dude on a Sportster unless they scared

Recommending a street 500 instead of a iron 883 shows you know nothing about Harleys

What a terrible video. They string you along, talk about two bikes, and then go into a pointless commentary about how riding motorcycles is different form riding a car. Absolutely useless.
