nothing needs to change, keep making it just like they have for yrs and yrs............then you buy one, and make it into the shape you want with all the addons and options available, simple

I kinda like the look of that...not my riding style, but the look is appealing.

not even close gaining 200 pounds and slamming it to the ground doesn't make it sporty

We might as well let this whole thing die a natural death . The Sportster will die with the generation that rides it because like it or not , they will turn off the petrol ( Gasoline ) in the next 30 years.

Looks upon this face and despair .

Good gawd I hope not. There's nothing even remotely 'sporty' about that abomination.
