Sportstar 883 Custom or Suzuki Bandit?

Hi, I have to buy a motorcycle in the near future. Visually I tend very to the Sporty. Have also read a lot about it. However, many questions are still open and I hope that some of them could be answered here. 1. For beginners Sporty or Bandit? 2. Lifetime Sporty? 3. Reliability Sporty? 4. Size? Am 1.77 fit or? 5. Passing a Sporty? Don’t want to race, but acceleration would be important to me. 6. Since I’m 23, I would have to throttle them for 2 years, does that work and if so, how expensive is that? 7. Prejudice, for a Harley you either have to listen to a motorcycle walk or at least look like that! How far is that? Hope my questions are not too stupid. mfg memmo
