Does Harley do this very often? I thought they announced all of the 2010 bikes in July?

but with that 2.1 US gallon fuel tank, you will be visiting the local gas stations every 100 miles. Another Starbucks posser bike by the look of it.

Usually, but sometimes they buy 1200 Sporties to say they're faster than any of the big-twins.

LOL dude you are giving them way too much credit.

I doubt that the poser even know anything about performance.

Not around here, some want that badazz sporty look, this bike would suit them to a T. Be perfect for them to run from one Starbucks to another looking tuff and all bikerish.

If you're buying any harley for performance than view the following:

YOU

DOING

IT

WRONG

Personally I like my sportster. People knock them too much in my opinion. Just because someone rides a 950lb cruiser doesn't mean I want to.

I love that sinking Sportster logo on the tank. BMW did that in the 1990s with their R100R roadsters. It had a sinking Boxer logo on the tank. I think it was a sales flop though as I never saw any on the road and BMW discontinued it soon after. I must've been the only one that liked it.
