Love this new take on the HD Sporty

The HD 48

Here's a video

Love the unswung mirrors, drag bars, forward controls and the OH SO COOL big front tire.

Cool bike but is that coming to the US? I like the forward controls and drag bars but I can do without that tank. I've never liked the shape of the sporty tanks the the new sporty lows are ok.

One of them was blowing smoke at 1:05..

I really like the smoke pouring out of the bike at 1:06 and 1:21.

Quality engineering.

Yeah I had to fix the link... somehow got the UK version... all good now. My dealer will have one in about 2 weeks. I bet it sells fast!

The people in that video could use a shower and a shave, they look kinda dirty

gotta see it in person before i pass judgement

I don't know, it's still a sporty. Never really been a fan of them for some reason.

I like the look a lot but personally I would need more gas than the peanut tank and less than $10,500. Good for them if they can sell it for that, but they aren't selling me one. The only issue I see for the people they want to sell it to (PBR drinking hipster dicks judging by the ad) is no rear seat for a girl.
