    but it doesn't have "lots of chrome" !!! sorry, not a Harley without the chrome, at least that's what I gather from all the used bike adds.
    seriously, I think it's cool as shit and would be a blast to ride.

    It looks like something from my youth, like an old Triumph or BSA, but with better "bits" bolted onto it, like decent shocks and brakes. Kinda cool, but I don't think I'd be interested in owning one given all the really good choices out there today. I'll bet that sucker will get HOT between your legs...

    If I buy a Hd then You will have to buy all that pointless HD gear that people wear ie chaps, leather waist coat , fingerless gloves and a crappy pudding boll helmet. That make you look 100% gay. :rofl

    On the plus side there is not much chrome like a proper bike should be.

    Add another 30 degrees to the cylinder angle and buy a KTM 990. For less.

    That looks like the only way to make a Sportster not suck.

    Hopefully it has enough hp (guess around 30hp lol?) to pull a cart full of spare parts when it rattles itself apart on the trail.

    But, just because you can; doesn't mean you should.

    Real nice looking and a hoot to ride.. The comfort from the suspension and the upright riding position are reasons alone to do it.
