I like the bike. The price not so much. And the tank is just too small IMHO even if it is its namesake.

The price seems high until you look at what you get. More tire and a Fatbob front end. It's only $500 more than a Nightster. If you like the looks it's not a bad deal.

F&R tire look the same, If I was a young pup I'd want one,I like the side cut muffs & looks in general. Had a 1200C before joining the bagger bunch, lotta fun on the Sporty
