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

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.

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.
