Yes. If you are a first time rider and you insist on riding a harley then I would suggest that you get a sportster. But first I would suggest that you take a motorcycle safety course. I have been riding for a long time and I have seen people start out on large bikes. It’s not pretty. Start with something that you can handle. A Fat Bob weighs in at around 703 pounds, a Fat Boy around 714 pounds and a sportster around 583 pounds. That’s a lot of weight.
