I always have liked sportsters, and that one is just about done right. Very "cafe" in spirit. R |

why not just get a tuber though and swap the xb wheels over? Lighter, faster, handles better. It is a cool bike though |

Matt, I'm with ya, but I can see both sides of the picture because I had a Sportster and built it similarly, until I fell in love with Buells. |

It is a cool bike though oh believe me, id buy the s1 ive been looking for for that price before the sporty if i had the $ to through at them right now. i just actually think its not a bad looking bike the way it sits right now. makes me wonder how it performs out of curiosity.

i love sportsters and this is sort of the route I'd like to take some day with one, swapping buell bits to make it perform better |

Come on guys! an '02 morphedite for 5k ? Try comparing that bike to any stock X1,or S1, performance or looks... not even close. IMO it's a mutt |

I too have always liked the Sportster look. with the buell motor and some other mods, it looks good. |

Point taken, but a Sportster still rides like a tractor, the very reason I bought my first Buell. |

At least it doesn't eat isolators and replacement parts could be had for CHEAP (eBay). |

Poor choice in headlight is what jumped out at me as lame with that bike. Otherwise would be fun for awhile. |
