Yeah Roadsters got a Tach and yeah I do look at It once in a while.
But I still say the best way to Learn the Sportster powerband would be to Wrap a Do-Rag over the Speedo,,for a week or two,,
And Learn some throttle control,,Twist that thing,,then twist It some more,

Guages ! We don need to stinkin guages !
We Is Sporster riders,,

Wimps should stay on the porch XD

It'd be cool if they made a sporty with wings...we can worry about landing later.

Not ever owning one I can't really offer much for this but I would like to see more of the nightster type models. Maybe a halfway chopped Nightster or something.

S&S already builds a 100 CI motor, lets start with the big inch motor and keep the weight down. Inverted forks, and 6-speed.

I do, if I was ready for a sportsbike I would have bought a Buell. Harley Davidson is going to regret dropping Buell in a few years. Especially if a company like Polaris decides they can make some money.

100 HP from factory, drop the seat down into the frame, different handle bar & riser options as a standard option, and that 6 speed tranny. Hell, the MoCo still hasn't even done a CVO/SE option of the sporty line like they have with all/most of the other models.

Like was said it seems like most want a dyan LOL! The sportster is always going to be a smaller bike with a lower cc engine-that is what seporates them from the big BT bikes. A fuel gauge would be nice for sure. I think all bikes should come with a tach. Really the Dyan is like a big sporty, really don't get differant looking till you get to the softail line.
