Cute. Were those bikes bought at the same time? Plates are 2 numbers apart.

There is a discussion over on the XL forum about the relative size difference between the Sportster and Dyna models. Someone posted that photo to try to show the Sportster is not that much smaller than a bagger. I think he was kidding, however. I took the photo and added the "dialogue" between the two bikes.

Trick is.. Can you punch out and beef up a sporty engine to near big-twin? I'm guessing if you can make a sporty motor push anywhere close to the torque/hp numbers, it'd be a wicked fast bike.. but I know little to nothing about sporties except I wish I was about 50lbs lighter, then I'd love a nightster.
