That’s a Harley?

[Sirius Lee]

It has some potential as the basis of building it into a cafe bike. Needs a proper set of forks swapped in right off the bat though.

Of just get the midweight Ducati and it's perfect right out of the box.

I notice all Harley’s now have a radiator...like the old Water Buffaloes.

Looks a lot like my 15 year-old old Harley-powered Buell Cyclone - that is 30 lbs lighter and has 25 more horsepower. Harley always has a problem winding their calendar when it comes to the sport bike market.

Ask a Harley dealer, ...they love these ‘junior’ models because the one sale very often amounts to three sales.

The classic scenario, even with some older models, like the Sportster, goes like this. First they sell the junior model, usually to a first time Harley buyer. But the buyer eventually comes to believe he underbought, so he goes back to the dealer and trades it in on a ‘real’ hog, something with at least 80 inches. So the dealer sells him a second bike, plus he then gets to sell the used junior Harley to someone else. And the cycle (no pun intended) continues.

Pass... if I wanted something that looked like a throwback to a 1970s japanese built bike coverd in black plastic... I’d go buy an old Honda and cover it black plastic

I have a KLR 650. I don’t ride a motorcycle to be seen. I ride a motorcycle to disappear. (And find God). :)

This sums up the KLR650 attitude about motorcycles:

Meh. i got my hot ride right here (1045 miles on a 1981 Trail 110)...

bringing it to around 70 base horsepower

I've considered Harley from time to time but they're anemic compared to my '15 Triumph Explorer XC with ~130 hp. I've thought about the HD Vrod muscle with 122 hp but I don't like forward controls. Besides, HD riders don't consider the Vrod line to be a real Harley.

Im not a Harley guy but I on occasion admire them...but if you want one that goes fast this is your best choice ...

there are faster models for a straight line...is Russ Collins still alive?

[doorgunner69]

70 hp?????

[RegulatorCountry]

Seems a little wide of the mark for the Harley brand personality to me.

From the looks of it, the brakes are really good. Twin disks with lots of swept area.
