I had many an interesting bike in my youth, but old age, hopefully now with hindsight and greater wisdom and increasingly aching bones, wouldn't see me repeating the opportunity again.......A sportster.stripped down to the bare essentials, so much lighter will help as they are a far old solid dead weight to chuck about. The solid engine mounting sends vibrations thru the handlebars which shake the hands and fingers numb after a while,. Great fun in small doses
I found putting lead weights in the handlebar ends helps balance out some of the worst of the vibes.
