I dont see how you'd get 90 inches out of the the old 4 cammer, make it emissions compliant&nbsp\\;and fit it in the narrow frame, I think more accurately what you are hearing is that the 09 XR1200 is supposed to have 90 HP

its a 90 HORSEPOWER

the modifications made to the XR1200 engine, which produces 90 HP, will be implemented in the other sportster models.

that may or may not be true, its just what i heard. but it sounds WAY more realistic than a 90ci or 90cc sporty HAHA

I also heard about the 90 HP 1200R, nothing about 90 ci though.&nbsp\\; A 90 cuber on a sporty would look a little strange I imagine. Not as strange as a 90 cc though .
