No those rims look much lighter. but you would be suprise how much an aluminium sportster rim weighs. not to mension a fat boys or Vrod rims. Changed tires on a FLSTSC and a fat boy today. i stand by my claim that they weigh over sixty pounds. Pick up some Buell Xb wheels. they weigh well less than half. This model may go on sale in europe one year before America, but if they make it for them they will sell it in the US. The Night Train started as an UK model and was sold there a year or two before the US introduction.

Seriously sweet. I've said it here before, the only bike I can stand by Harley is the sportster, and I always have loved the old XR750. Like Zoo said, it could use some blacking-out and whatnot.
