The Sportster has great styling and performance potential. Willy G. and Erik Buell both proved that.

And yeah, the chick is hot! She doesn't fit the bike very well, though.

And that is a nice custom!

She's about four feet tall!

That looks like a stock frame--that one may be just a seat, tank, rear wheel, bars and rearsets away for any Sportster. And a damn shame HD doesn't make one like that. If this doesn't exude a hipster vibe, the way they are marketing the Sportster nowadays, I don't know what does.

It's for the girls, Mel, you should know that by now.

Perhaps one for Mrs. Ville?

I've been a fan of the Goodman forever, but I've never seen one in the flesh.

Even this one isn't bad once you replace the stock exhaust.

I almost dropped one of those in the dealers parking lot. Not good at all.
NOTHING like the low seat height of the XLCR.

Edit: the passenger pegs were unsprung, being extensions of the rear axle.
Passenger accommodations were truly an afterthought on this bike - as it should be.

Nope, nothing like it. It has a towering 30" seat height. You know, 2" lower than an Airhead. ;)
