.....more Bob than Bob? They even mixed up Olive Denim paint for it ?!?!

I love this new Sportster. I'm alittle confused as to why it was released in Jan.The black/olive denim is the combo I'v been planning for my Bob. I guess the MoCo beet me to it.

 

Personally, I think the nightster is what a bobber should look like. Lean and not alot of flair. I love my streetbob but that nightster is looking really nice also.

 

I must say I like that bike too .... notgonna swap the "BlueGlide" for it, but the MoCo did a good job on that one. I must agree as well Hogrida ... the Olive Denim/Black Denim combo is pretty slick lookin'.

Sure would have been a good opportunity to throw a 17 inch /180 tire under the rear . . . but given the "out-the-door" price will be around $12K . . . .the light weight, greatpower to weight ratio, and that it already looks like a metro-bobber -- hey, the thing ought to sell like free beer.

Can't wait to see where they mount theradiators next year. LOL!

I like the bike, butIthink they need can those 39mm front forks and putdyna forks on it (with the boots).

 

woulda been nice if they had done some of those things to the bob instead.

i like it alot though.

 

I actually like it alot..and I'm not typically into sportsters. Still...I can't help but think..no matter how good it looks, it's still so damn small...at least for my 6' 220 lb body. Quite frankly, I even think the guy riding it in the video makes it look small. I know it would completely defeat the purpose, but I wish they made the sportsters bigger...considerably. I'd actually think about getting one if they did.
Nice bike though. I have a feeling HD is gonna do well with this one.
Just my take on it of course.

What're you doin in the Sportster section PsTaN??

This is one verynice murdersickle.

I knew all along that The Motor Company would do something special
for the 50th anniversary Sporty. And this may not be the last of it.

Maybe they will lower the tank, like the second picture, and,add pipes, cams, and dual front discs.

Todd, SportSters are not about looking good and cruisin around.

They do look good, but, this is a performer.

Gotta know how to ride em. SPORT ster.

I've had plenty of em over the last 40 years. I'm 6'2" as well.

I bought a SuperGlide cause I feel like takin a little break from the real world.

This is not a paperboy's bike.
