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.

Its not suppose to have a seat...
But you can add a rear seat and pegs... As far as price... have you ever rode a new 1200 sporty? Well worth the 10500. What else is offereed in that market for that price? |

I'm not really a cruiser guy, but if I had to do something factory I would probably get a leftover VTX1800 and pocket some coin in the deal. Ideally though I would use that money, plus a little more, and build a prostreet myself.

HD has a chance with me when they bring back Buell.
This bike not for me regardless. |

Best case would be an epic fail of a sporty bike branded HD using some buell designs.
I really don't think they will go sportier than the XR though. |

I dont either. It's not their core market. It would be a failure. Sportbike riders don't want to ride a HD. And HD doesn't want to build a sportbike.
