Thanks for the wake up call shu. Years ago I owned a Honda CBX that had the soul of a Ferrari. Yet, it never will match the SOUL of my Harley.

Ignorant Harley rider and loving it!

it was a blanket statement aimed at no one in particular. I'm just tired of hearing people say that particular phrase. I wonder what all the old school bikers with Triumphs (and there are still a few of those around) would have to say about it

and getting back on subject, I wonder what Harley is cooking up........

They are called "Sportsters". Just sayin.....

When the name was coined, the "Sportster" was a sport bike. King of the street with direct links to the machines that Harley raced and won with.

.......... perhaps this is the HD Escort that is mentioned in the CA EPA listing ?

That's like comparing a Saturn to a Ferarri and saying it's crap because it can't run the 1/4 in 10.8 sec or a Mazda B pickup to a F 350 and saying it's crap because it doesn't pull 20,000 lbs, not really made to do the same thing. This is the dumbest comparison I see and people make it all the time. Compare cruisers to cruisers and sport bikes to sport bikes.
