Loud heavy beat music with lots of bass, that's male testosterone. Just like a 572" motor with smoking tires it means that we want to get some. That is why the human "race" is still here. If a female had our levels and lack of restraint we would not have nice names for her, but would still enjoy her company. Clasical music reproduction is to calm us down a little and get our minds back together.Bet when we have a female in a Hi-Fi tech session or seen on a V8 motorcycle we don't know how to act. Yep the male bonding is a safe place to hide and a way to communicate without the testosterone.
Further considerations....
How often is a female arrested for rape? (Must be like trying to stuff a marshmalow in a piggy bank.)
How many female drag racers compared to males?
How many XXX sites on the net are dedicated to the females?
Motorcycle sales by sex?
Mountain climbers, bungie jumps, etc.What I meant to say is we are different. Thank god cause I would not look good in babydoll pajamas.
Some bassis exists for all I spewed. Now I have done it!!!!

I am an avid Harley rider and the vast majority of riders I meat are male. However, I do meet a lot of female riders. They are our there!My wife used to be a social worker for a locked down facility for teenaged girls. You don't want to hear about your first "further" consideration. It's an uglyer world out there than most people think.
I could never get into the V-twin thing, but I do enjoy riding as well. :)
Its' all about low-end tourq. I ride a 1200 Sportster so I don't have to push so hard to get the thing to turn!
I rather enjoy shifting my Magna above 9000 RPM. Why? Because I can! It's music to my ears. And doesn't shake out my fillings at the same time. Bonus.The inherent lopey-dopey imbalance of a 45 degree V-twin sounds to me like the engine has lost a cylinder with a fouled plug or something. I'll take a 90 degree V-4. On the other hand, I do enjoy watching "American Thunder" with Michelle Smith. :)
Happy 50th anniversary to the XLCH. The Sportster was among the first superbikes and reigned as king for over a decade.

I got rid of a 750 Kawasaki to get the Sportster and never looked back. If your Sportster was an Iron Head, you should give an Evolution a try. I have ridden both and it is like night and day. You can rid a 1200 Evolution all day. An Iron Head will nock you fillings out in a few blocks. I get less fatigue on my Sportster than I did with my Kawasaki. If you have a need for speed, and it sounds like you do spinning at 9K, the Sportster is not for you, but it is now a very comfortable ride.
I have read that the current Sportster flavor with its new rubber motor mounts has significantly reduced perceived vibration and mirror shake. But vibration will always be there with 45 degree V-twins in a way that you will never find in a V-4. It's physics. Just watch the motor dance in the frame.The V-Rod is a cool bike with a modern water cooled motor, but way overpriced IMHO. For that outlay, I could get a liter crotch rocket and a metric cruiser. Or an ST 1300 and change.
Different strokes (literally) for different folks.
Agreed, it's all in what you want.
