Yup, the orange version is my favorite one as well.
But I say, make a whole line of real Harley-Davidson "sport"sters; that's right put the SPORT back into sportster! Use some of that Buell technology (before it goes to waste) and create something really sporty.

I would like an updated version of the tuber Buells from the 1990s, but make it look more like a Sportster. Make it light, use a hot rodded sportster engine, top notch suspension, offer it in the orange, and I would buy.
That gives me a thought that ties into the Harley-Davidson CVO we have up on the Cool Wall right now, Harley-Davidson should do a XR1200X CVO version. Drop in a 110 ci engine, tuned, into a the XR1200 and not only would the price be "affordable" for a CVO, but dang, that XR1200X CVO would be a blast!

The 110 weighs way too much which already is a problem with the XR. Plus the 110 is not a unit construction so it is super bulky as well. The best route is the hot rodded sportster engine.
