We've had a 1200C Sportster for about a year and a half now. I've put about 9,000 miles on it, and it has performed quite well. The Evo engine is a little cold natured, but it has never failed to start. No leaks, no drips, no problems ... except a bad fuel petcock that caused high speed stalling a couple of times (the vacuum diaphragm).
It has considerably more power than the Suzy, but is not as nimble. Vibration becomes a factor at between 60 and 70 MPH, but is not noticeable above or below that range. All in all … I like the Sporty … but given my choice between the two I'd ride the Suzy.
