Combined with that comfy looking seat?

Took a demo ride on the Sportster S yesterday.  They sure put sport into sportster.  Bike is very quick, acceleration is fantastic.  Its the Pan America motor with a different cam and tune.  Sure doesn't feel like it has less HP.  Thing Flys, corners great.  Could use more suspension travel.  It has ride Modes, rain, road, sport, and two you can customize.  Traction control and wheelie control.

Pretty cool ride. I see price as competitive and think they will sell a ton of them. More attractive to me than the Ducati due to larger dealer network and just being a HD product.

Has the longest line of any bike on Demo Truck for people wanting to ride.  I think it will be a hit if Harley can market it right and get the word out to the ones buying Naked bikes.

Nice looking bike, but I’m not a fan of the high exhaust.  Might look cool, but it’s going to radiate heat to your leg, especially in hot climate areas.  Initial media ride reviews expressed the same concern, especially when stopped in traffic.  The way the bike is designed, I’m not sure the aftermarket could manipulate a low slung exhaust for the Sportster S.

I like it....power to weight will make for a fun ride, then the aftermarket will squeak out some more. Give it a year to work out the bugs and maybe I will take a demo ride.
