Bikes

If you have a penchant for push rods and a thirst for the open road, no other cruiser in American history can tango with a Harley. But before you attempt to reenact Easy Rider, start with the Sportster 883 Low rather than blowing half of your yearly salary on that new Wide Glide. Harley’s classic V-Twin melds with dual chrome pipes and rear piggyback shocks, showcased by minimal bodywork. Horsepower is low and torque is a passive 55 lbs.-ft, so there’s nothing to be afraid of on your first hog. Slip on those chaps and bust out the tassels -- your first Harley is a Sportster.
