This week’s review is over John Adams Harley Sportster 1200. I’ve ridden the bike myself, and it has more than enough power and the handling is excellent. It was actually the first road bike I had ever ridden, and probably one of the last because I’m just not a pavement type of guy.
Harley’s don’t typically give off a “sporty” look, but this bike sits lower than your standard Harley which allows better handling in turns and overall more practicality. On days when John Adam and I meet up at the world-famous Puckett’s in Leipers Fork, Tennessee, we can’t even walk inside without people coming up to talk about the bike. This Harley is an eye-catcher for sure and is a great choice for any weekend warrior.
