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.

From the 07 Model Year Technical Forum

SPORTSTER®
Oxygen Sensors
• Front and rear exhaust
O2 sensors
• Closed loop system
like 2006 Dyna™ models

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.
