Forgive me buellers, for I have sinned

[dave_xb12r]

The new Sportster Forty-Eight, I like it [sad]

 

[Buellysses]

That's it, mod status revoked.

Not a bad looking bike Dave, what do you have planned for it?

 

[browland]

meh we are all sinners at some point aint it fun being bad?... I kinda like the blacked out sportster though i dont think i could ever give the harley dealership that much for it

 

[dave_xb12r]

I haven't bought it, I just like it a lot and I feel guilty about it.

 

[flaya564]

What's the difference from 2009 sportster?

 

[Bolt]

Ugh!

 

[dave_xb12r]

Lower bars, mirrors under the bars, wider front tire, lower mounted speedo, smaller seat, and pegs further forward. Basically everything that I would do to a sportster already done.

 

[afinley]

I agree, looks like an Iron with the mirrors upside down and spoked wheels. Don't get me wrong, I liked it enough to buy it, but I wouldnt go back for it.

Peanut tank too. It's a "parts bin custom". H-D will sell a bunch of these because they're selling a lifestyle and it fits in perfectly with the 20-something bad ass image. They can thank guys like Exile for making this so popular. I know that was my inspiration when I rattle canned my XL satin black and ScotchBrited all the chrome (except the exhaust).

It's a great look, but in the end it's a H-D that really wants to be a Buell.

It's a shame, because good XLs like the ol' 1200s and the XR1200 won't sell nearly as well even though they are (or were) technically superior bikes.

This is another reason why Buell was axed. Clear that showroom floor space. Take out the real road bikes and make room for biker image motorcycles. Pfft.

BLASPHEMY! If it was another brand I might understand but a Harley!? They pay you off or something?

 

[Pockets]

[meetch]

Awful. Just awful.

 

[07Bolt]

[Ronin1]

Put on the gay-pirate attire and ride baby![down]

 

[marko138]

I like it. There are several Harley's that I like...but I wouldn't buy them, not now.

 

[browland]

I still want a gorrila suit... oh BTW saw a leathers company is now making replica Batman riding suits I would pee myself if someone bought it

Lower bars, mirrors under the bars, wider front tire, lower mounted speedo, smaller seat, and pegs further forward. Basically everything that I would do to a sportster already done.

Don't forget the tiny 2.1 gallon peanut tank over a 1200 rubbermounted engine... Basically, a bar hopper (unless you carry a gas can over your shoulder).

 

[Pockets]

B- Scorpion made that replica suit for a limited production run.

 

[boreas]

sorry dave.... thumbs[down]
