Appears so, but the "real bikers" will still consider it a "bitch bike." |

Yeah, "bitches" like to lean more than 12 degrees. Interesting that the wheel sizes are exactly Buell's. |

I have always thought a Sportster with a hot rod engine (Buell) would be cool. I would not get rid of mu Uly, but I think I would try to work it out to get that bike. |

I like the styling, wouldn't trade my Uly or Street Rod on it though! |

Blake, can we get the about 14 threads started about the new Sportster condensed into one? |

The front wheel is an 18" but otherwise looks very Buell-like. Would'nt be that hard to put a beefier swingarm, better rear shocks and a buell front end on a sporty. I've seen similar looking bikes around. I think it looks great! |

I got to know more about the EFI. Looked at one the other day and it has an O2 in each pipe. Does anyone have any tech info on the system? |

It will be Delphi like the rest of the H-D bikes. |

Kind of interesting. Does anyone consider this a direct competitor to the XB line for Buell? If this would have been out when I was looking I know I would have given it a very hard look. |

I see them both as fun bikes but no overlap at all in target. |
