Is it only a limited production bike? I was under the impression that it was going to be a permanent fixture in their lineup.

Waiting for my dealer to receive their only 48, I may pull the trigger...regardless of the b.s. I'll catch from my buddies for riding a sporty, LOL.

LOL, it was enough for all those Sportsters made from 1957 thru at least some time in the '80s.

I demo rode one at Daytona and didn't care for it. The wide front tire made it turn slow into the corners. I also demoed the Iron 883 and liked it so much I bought one yesterday. I now own UPSBROWN's Iron.

It became a pet peeve of mine that EVERY 48 thread someone commented on the gas tank size (you couldn't go ANYWHERE with a tank that small, etc...)

I have a small peanut tank, love it, and go EVERYWHERE with it.

Just a hint of winter sarcasm with my original post!

I like the peanut and the front wheel/tire! If they put a regular tank and tire on it, It would just be a Nightster. Although, I don't care for the tank badge.

sethiroth, do you know when more of those 48's will come available? seems like most the dealers up my way only got 1, and they were already sold or spoken for.

thanks,

I had decided on the street bob.. went to the dealer today... saw the 48 and now i'm wondering if i should switch.. it's really a nice looking bike... I would want the black pipes and mini apes... not sure the fit of the low bars would be the way to go for me.. but I do love the mirrors on hanging off the bottom of the bars.... hmmmm what's a girl to do?
