So is the SuperLow actually lower than the Nightster? (Yes, I'm to lazy to read )

So, Harley's at it again. The "new" SuperLow is just the 883Low with a new name. Even though the 1200C is gone, the 1200"Low" is still around with the 4.4 gal tank and the same unladen height as last year, which is also the same height as the "old" 1200C. So, take the 1200Low, add forwards and a 21" front wheel and, whala, 1200C.

Iron in yellow... for some reason it doesn't make me die a little inside like every other yellow bike or car I see.

Meh, nothing too exciting this year... The XR1200X is probably the best thing about 2011, but we already knew about that...

EDIT: can't believe they got rid of The C.

I has a 17" rear wheel and 18" front wheel so there are changes.

Changing wheels does not make a "new" bike. And definitely not necessitate a new name. The bike is neither NEW, nor SUPERLOW.

That'd be like proclaiming the "NEW MUSTANG" if all they did was change the wheels and paint. Or better yet, call it the "NEW MUSTANG SUPERFAST"
