The 72 is one of the most beautiful bikes Harley has ever made. The EVO is such an awesome motor for that size bike, it sounds awesome, it’s indestructible, it makes plenty of power (1200 anyway). It’s such a great package. I hope to have one in my stable someday.

I love my 72 and travel everywhere with it , I just carry extra fuel bottles and honestly haven’t had to use them once ! We live in mass. And we travel to upper VT ., NH. ect. And I also do highway and have never had wheel wobble or any problems at 80mph. I will never get rid of it : ))

Love my 72...yes it's small but that's what I like about it. I have a bad back with nerve damage and I sometimes lose feeling in my leg. You can hold up this bike with one leg and one arm. That's why its awesome.

My own opinion, Sporty's are freakin fun to ride, picked up a 91 1200 6 yrs ago, good on hi-ways but main back roads, like 301 or route 60 in central Florida, more balls than a pawn shop window, great for tight turns, a gr8 bike all around.

I've had two Sportsters, the first an '84 candy plum xlh 1000 iron head and a '93 scarlet red Evo 883. I put 16" apes on the "93 and loved them, would probably go with 12" or 14" on the next one, 16" are a little much to me. But, even though the Sportster, especially the 883, is a smaller bike I think that they are one of the best looking when your riding one. That tank style when you look down on it and the air cleaner knocking at your knee give it an old school classic hot rod look! It's hard to beat in my book!

It's actually called the 72 because it's named after Whittier Blvd route 72.. In Cali... The birth place of the custom lowriders and all that shit.. Chicano bikes... Cholo bikes... Choppers... Some people say it's named the 72 to showcase the "custom" Harleys during that era... Which could be a 1972 Harley... But chances are that they were older bikes customized with the 70s style.. So technically... Had nothing to do with the amf bikes...
