At the local dealer today, I asked the manager if he could tell me if the rumor I heard about bring the Deuce back for '09. He said he did'nt know, but they will be introducing some new models, including(according to him for what it's worth), a 1400cc Sportster.&nbsp\\; We'll know for sure Tuesday.

 

How do they expect a woman to ride that?

 

&nbsp\\; It's going to take a "real woman".[sm=smiley2.gif]

 

So the women you know only ride small things?

 

LMAO!

 

It's a given, there will be a Deuce again this year after a year off.

 

A buddy of mine has an S&S 1340 big bore in his Sporty, and it's one of the fastest Harleys around. So it would be a runner if the rumor is true.

 

1200 Sporty is a fast bike, the 1400 would be awesome. Give the crotch rockets a run.

 

&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; No question, it sure would!

 

A 1400 Sportster doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. You're looking at an 85" motor, which would be a new motor for HD. Why not simply put in an 88". If they want to make the Sporty faster it would make more sense to simply offer a "tuned" version of the 1200. You could easily get the additional hp that the extra 200 cc's would give.
