Yeah; with the MoFoCo, Form always takes precedence over Function. I'm surprised that they didn't put Ape Hangers on the Pan American.

They ruined the Road Glide with those absurd things.

I've never ridden a bike with a front tire nearly the same size as the rear so i'm not sure i would like the Sportster "S". However i test rode the Pan America and really like the engine. Personally i am holding onto hope for the Bronx also. Even if it gets the smaller engine it should be a fun bike.

So now it is water cooled and in addition to oil leaks there will be coolant leaks turning Sportster S owners life to nightmare.

Supposed to be announced today but so far all I've seen is Zero's announcement of the new FXE...

Yep. It looks like a bike Mr. Natural would ride and it's priced 50% more than a 1200 Sportster.

About what I expected.

Rode it Saturday and Sunday.

This bike reminds me of a Neil Peart quote "When I'm riding my motorcycle I'm glad to be alive. When I stop riding my motorcycle I'm glad to be alive."

Scary fast, refined, but turning it is tricky you have to really muscle it and push on the outside peg to get it to turn. I jumped off the Indian Scout Bobber right onto this one and night and day difference. The Bobber is nice, the Sportster is a beast.

Once you get used to how it handles I guess it will be fine, but if you ride more than one bike it takes some getting used to.

From the MoCo web page:

"This is the right bike for:

Riders who desire top-of-the-line performance and stunning style

Aggressive riding with sport bike agility and handling

Making a statement and standing out from the crowd"

Well, they got the last one right.
