I just traded my 2002 Harley-Davidson Sportster Hugger for a 2009 Harley-Davidson V-Rod and wish I would have done it sooner. Im only 5-foot-4-1/2 and couldnt find anything that fit me. There were other Harleys that were lower; however, they were so wide I couldnt get my legs around them and still reach the ground.

For the last few years, since Harley-Davidson has made a concerted effort to market specifically to women, there has been at least one new model every year that has features most women riders deem desirable — that being a very low seat height, reduced reach to the bars, and great styling.

I purchased my Honda Shadow Spirit with only 400 miles on it. I love this bike! The bike is approximately 600 pounds but is weighted very well. Before I purchased this bike, I was riding a Honda Shadow VLX 600, which was very top-heavy. I bought the Spirit with the red windshield, engine guard and saddlebags already on it.

If you asked me which motorcycle among Harley-Davidsons Big Twin models is the most popular with women riders, Id answer the Softail Deluxe FLSTN, judging by my own observations attending events and getting out there among the female motorcycling community. Ever since the motorcycles introduction in 2005, Ive seen more women riding that motorcycle than any of the other Softails, Dynas, and Touring model platforms, those considered the “Big Twins.”

I missed the formal unveiling of Roar Motorcycles WildKaT motorcycle, which took place during Daytona BikeWeek 2009. I had briefly stopped in at Roar the day it arrived, but the bike was in the back of the shop getting some tweaking, and I was heading home to Tampa.

The Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider was made for those with a shorter frame. One doesnt sit on top of the bike, one sits comfortably in it, almost hugging it, becoming part of the bike (which is a very secure feeling).

I have been riding since I was 12 years old, primarily on the dirt or on the back, bumping helmets. I decided on my 51st birthday that I wanted a Harley-Davidson Fat Boy—no discussion. With the new wide tires on the 07s, well, I just couldnt pass it up.

In April of 2006, I purchased a Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 Low. In August of 2008, I upgraded to a 2008 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy. I am only 5 feet tall, so all bikes but the Harley-Davidson Nightster have to be modified for me.

The bike I choose to ride is a 2002 Harley-Davidson Dyna Low Rider. I absolutely love it! Several years ago, I saw one and thought at that moment, “This is the bike for me.” She doesnt have all the bells and whistles, like a lot of chrome and such.

After taking the motorcycle safety training class, my girlfriend and I went out looking at bikes. Hondas, Suzukis, Yamahas—we saw lots of bikes. But she was steering me toward a Harley, so we went to the Harley dealer and I sat on a 2009 Nightster 1200. It just felt right.
