No Harley is very "sporty". Either go for a cruiser or a Sportbike. Don't fuck around in the middle.

If it's your first bike here's just a couple of suggestions to get started on.

In the Sportsbike arena look at the CBR125RR and Ninja250. Yes they're on the small side but they're cheap and light. Don't be too afraid of the low ccs .. the 250 will spank most 600cc cruisers. If you think you can exercise the required restraint, i.e. you're emotionally and mentally mature enough, then you might consider going as large as say a Honda CBR600 f4i. They're plentifull, reliable and cheap. And they'll bitch slap a Harley.

In the Cruiser arena I'd like at the 500CC Kawasaki Vulcan, 600CC Honda Shadow and 650CC Yamaha V star.

Don't spend a lot of money on your first bike. It's often said that it's not if you'll drop your first bike but rather when.

Good luck!
