    Smaller bikes for HD

    Not sure the factory would ever build it. Then again Indian came close. I'd much rather ride this to work than one of their bigger bikes.

    Re: Smaller bikes for HD

    If you want you can build exactly that...from a 2007 Buell Ulysses. The uni shock got me curious on that so I did some Googling...

    An article about that build

    Bott Power is the company who manufactures that kit.

    Pretty cool.

    I liked the look of the XB. At the time I was looking for something from a company that would be around in a few years. Didn't get the feeling Buell was going to make it.

    That seat makes the 2x4 on my KTM look like a Barcalounger.

    Didn't AMF build a Harley dirt bike for a couple years in the 70's? I seem to remember a couple when I was a kid.

    I remember seeing one of those in a bike shop when I was a kid. Wasn't getting much love from the shop owner and it disapeared after a short time.

    Yeah, I looked into it. Seems they only made 'em for a few years in the mid/late 70's. Some sources say the 1975 Baja was won on one.

    Aermacchi built several small bikes for HD in the '60s pre AMF, and into the early '70s AMF years

    the one I linked to, is a 2 stroke 98cc, A lot quicker and faster than my K-pipe, cause my CB125S I had at the time was waay slower

    I've never been into the nekkid/streetfighter thing, but I'm with you. That's a great leap into a segment they've really had nothing to do with prior, looks wise (I haven't looked into specs/performance, etc). That fuckin' name though? C'mon...

    Of course, in typical Harley fashion: "Harley is working with Brembo to design a 4 piston monobloc caliper that meets HD's styling ethos, and with Michelin on a co-branded sport tire." Big eye roll.

    When I think of the Bronx now (the area), I think of pseudo hipsters washing down their gluten free avocado muffins with lattes while tapping way on their Iphones.

    It's not like the good ol' days when the Warriors had to fight their way through the Bronx to get back to Coney Island after Luther shot Cyrus. Fuckin' Rogues, man.
