This is a great starter bike for any average height man. This is a smooth looking, and riding bike. I have been riding my 2003 Drifter since December 2004. It had only 600 miles on it. It has been a solid bike to learn on because it has a low seat height, wide tires, and is very comfortable. The longest I have ridden is about 110 miles / day. My butt was a little sore because the seat does not give too much. (I am a new rider too though). It could use a slightly longer seat to stretch out, but you could buy cruise pegs too. The floorboards are awesome, and add a lot of comfort too. You don't have to wear thick healed boots either.
Performance - Here goes. Plenty of throttle, good stopping. Firm front end, squishy comfortable rear end. (I think that is because I am 250 lbs.)

I've done some modifications, like a hypercharger, jets and exhaust but can't tell you how many looks and questions I get about the 800 Drifter. It has a lot more power and appeal than a Yamaha V-Star. More hp than a Sp...

I'm in total all with my bike. It not only looks good, feels good it performs awesome! I've done some modifications, like a hypercharger, jets and exhaust but can't tell you how many looks and questions I get about the 800 Drifter. It has a lot more power and appeal than a Yamaha V-Star. More hp than a Sportster also doesn't shake at 70mph or above. Would highly recommend.

This is one sweet bike and the price is right. plus a bike like this is a very quality bike for what it is. This bike has style and class also the options. It smokes the 883 sportster in almost all catagories. It is a totally comfortable bike, a true Cruiser....
