More air?
Is it my imagination or is there more air between the top of the motor and the frame and if so does that mean it has a different frame? Is this the motor out of the sportster line or the XR1200?

I think the tank is sitting higher than a stock tank. I'll give you guys a run down when I set one up next week and testride it.

I like the looks except he tank gap just doesn't fit. I would prefer a longer tank with a little more capacity. Definitly an around town runner.

I like it. If I was in the market for an around town ride, I'd buy one. But alas, one motorcycle in my garage is my limit.

Best looking Sporty I have ever seen, but at just a little over 2 gallons capacity not enough riding time between fills. People buy bikes to ride not stop all the time and fill them up.

Pretty cute little scoot. It'd be fun to have one in the ole garage, especially when company comes.

Maybe that is why they call it the 48...It will go about 48 miles and then go on reserve...I do like the look of the bike.
