They need to make some Sportsters like this sweet ride. Yes, it's a Sportster.

Like a 48 with a springer front end?

harley needs to make 4 wheelers and dirt bikes....i bet they would make tons of money from all the die hard harley fans.....they wouldnt need to be the fastest (obviously) and the lightest (obviously) but if they looked cool people would buy them.
im sure right now they are trying to slim down production on stuff that is not a big seller....some number cruncher probably did all the math and hopefully cutting a few bikes saves them in the long run. i still dont know how to tell all these models apart...especially after people change every part on them....lots of options. its cool to see the same bike with 100 different owners and every single one is a little different than the next.

Yes, that is cool about a Harley.
I've been checking out the Softail forum and man, there are a hundred different ways to skin a Softail.
