I´ve been considering getting a bike for fuel economy and I would also want something fun and exciting, i´ve never owned a bike before and I´m wondering not only if this is a good bike to start with, but also if it is a good value. I like the styling of it, but I have nothing really to go on as far as knowledge of motorcycling. I´ve done tons of looking online but it seems hard to find very many reviews of the 2007 xl 883r sportster. Is this because it hasn´t sold that well? Also, wondering what any consistent problems might be with this particular bike, i´ve read that sportsters have issues with oil blowby but that its an easy fix, and also that they tend to act up when the engine gets hot. Should I seriously consider this bike, or go for something else?
