Latest HD Sportster... me want one

Recommended Posts

have you ever tried to ride something like that? I had serious rake on a 69 sporty that I had a hundred years ago-definitely not nimble. I didn't look that closely at teh photo but I'd bet that it's a hardtail too-that's a bike that you trailer to the show and stand beside.
I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried

Great looking bike! That almost looks like my 2006 1200r except mine has a black engine, Hooker trouble maker exhaust and spike air cleaner. I'd post pics but I'm at work til 2am and leaving at 7am to take my son to do a tandem. I'll be a lot poorer in the near future.

I saw it for the first time day before yesterday. There's a guy in my unit that bought one. All black, side style license plate mount (small thing, but makes a huge difference in look IMO) and just plain sick!!! (it's a good sick... kinda like bad but the good bad:S)

Definately badass... I saw it while standing next to a buddy of mine and all I did was look, point, and said, "Dude! Look! I want that!!! GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!!!":D

Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.

no idea whose it is... I just know he's in my unit because it's always parked in our parking lot overnight

but I've got my own sporty... 2002 HD Sportster 1200 Custom

I had a 1200C a few years ago and now have an 883C... she's fun but I get itchy feet every few years and feel the need for a change coming on.

you do know you can bore out the 883, it's the same motor as the 1200 with smaller bore

I use Mr Sheen (you lot call it somthing else, little bold guy with specs on the can) it has a silicone base and leaves a light film, all i do is wipe the bike over weekly and every other month i'l polish it............................. maybe:D

no flaking on mine yet, but there's not much of a winter here. Then again, there is a shit-load of sand that frequently blows around.[:/]
