Greetings,

See the new Sportster "48" model? Looks like a Nightster with a fatter front tire and clubman bars. Something different. The big front tire and flipped-down mirrors are pretty cool and considering if you get a paint option, only the gas tank changes. The fender stays black.

So what do you think? It's not my cup of tea, but an inexpensive dark-custom bike I think will sell pretty well.

 

I think its a great bike, it really looks like a classic bike.

 

yeah it will sell because all of the little rich kids parents are heading once again to bank to get the loan so there little kiddie can be cool. I just wish the moco would stop trying to copy them damn selves. come up with something original in the dark custom line. Take the old standard and make a 60's style metalflake stripped down model or the original "dark custom", the nighttrain, and rework it like they did on the dyna wide glide for 2010. they did a great rework on the wide glide. Seems like they are trying to hard on the sportster model but i understand why though, affordability in bad economy. So on that note I'll quit bitchin.

 

pics?

I don't care for the fat front tire. Looks out of place.

 

I think it helps alot to have bikes that are just a little differant from one another, especially for new riders on first bikes. Plus, their fairly inexpensive. If all they had was one Sportster, they'd all look alike. It will attract some that just have to have it. I like it, just don't need it.

 

I like it, I have wanted a Nightster as a around town bike if I had the $ but this is pretty cool

 

I'm not a fan of low fatty front tires, but I like it on the "48". It's nice to have options for new riders too. I've got a 09' Xbones with a 140/70 21" front fatty, and would consider the "48" as a second bike considering the price is so low.

 

The Sporty is to small of a scooter for me.
