Choosing a bike is based on your personal wants and desires. I love the springer front ends. I enjoy sitting low in the bike rather than on top of it. Right now I ride a 93 Springer with a side car. Not so much enjoyable as practical since I have a couple of kids.
Before the 93 I owned a couple of rigids. Now that is the kind of ride I enjoyed. You felt like you were a part of the bike and you could really feel the road. I wouldn't recommend that ride for anyone, but that is one you either love or forget. Most people I see on those now just use them for bar hopping. Nothing wrong with that, I bought my 93 so that I had a dependable bike for long hauls. Rigids you tend to have to tighten things up as you go along.
I always thought the Classic 50's Indian had a great look.
