    I don't know how to feel about this. On one hand, I kinda like the looks. It's got a certain appeal. On the other hand, don't they already have the buell line?

    That is Harley's attempt at it. I personally was always a fan of the Storz conversions...

    i hear blokes across the pond are REALLY diggin' it (from a UK Buell performance shop i deal with a lot).

    like JohnnyV, when this was released, i thought it fell flat to the Storz conversions.

    Re: Sportster going Sporty?

    I wonder what Harley would be like in the AMA/MotoGP field?

    They certainly have the money.....but it would probably negatively
    impact their "brand" and "image'

    It's the first HD that I've liked. Too bad it may not ever be sold here, but a briallant idea to try and get some of the Euro market with it.

    I was thinking the same thing when I saw it. The only difference is that the Monster can actually get low without scrapping the ever living shit out of the pipes.
