I know there sportster sales were down, other than that the stores here a building bigger and better ones. Mmaybe they've grown to top heavy in management. Always a corporate habit. Maybe everyone that wanted one has one? Doubtful.

I have a 92 Sportster. It's a decent bike (except for the turn-signal solenoids which only last a few months, at $80 a pop to change out), but I honestly don't know why they still keep them on the line, other than as an entry-level bike to use as a trade in on a larger HD.

They're too laid back and low to really be a sport bike (not to mention long strong, high compression V twins on a true rotary shaft don't accelerate all that quickly) and they're too small (small gas tank, narrow chassis), to be of convenience or comfort on a long ride.

They're a bad, in-between bike only good for short, casual runs. I'd rather ride my BSA Super Rocket.
