Not sure? Looks like it is trying to be something it is not.

Still have yet to see one in person!!!

It looks ok but I think it needs a bigger tank and Mini Apes on it.

i likes!!!
the tractor seat would look better attached ta the frame instead of suspended up there (springer seats look totally stupid on anything other than a hardtail, IMO)
and yes, put some apes on her and ye'll have a pretty dacent baby bad ass motor!

Sportster's sposed to look like this.............

Ok, I finally saaw one in person.  Like I said before, kinda looks like a Sportster with a custom tank and a few hours of mods.  Wasn't that excited by it.

I agree. Just saw one myself and not really sure what is all the unique about it.

i like the front tire and the blacked out components, but would rather see harley davidson take a new look at building an entry level bike that had suspension, and a water cooled motor from this decade and not from the 60's.

I did a first service on a 48 yesti..It had the screaming eagle kit on it and is a fair bike of bike for the price...I thought it would handle shit with the big front tyre but it was ok..I'm not exactly a little bloke but it was quite comfortable and i reckon it would make a cool little bar hopper..CHEERS BOOF

I like the front end set up but it really would need a bigger tank. I think you would be stoppin for fuel a whole lot! Like BOOF said probably be a fun little runabout:-) I think a bobbed fender and some apes be right on.

I may be able to put y'alls mind to rest ... I had one of these for a/b 5months.
It is definitely set up for a smaller/shorter guy/woman. I'm 5'6...so it fit me well.
It does look pretty cool, yet the vibration one gets at 60 and above is a bit uncomfortable...that's why I got rid of mine and went w/ the SG.
If anything, it's a good bike for boppin around town or within a 40-50 mile radius. Beyond that, you better look like finding a gas station....since the tank only holds 2.1gallons.

It just ain't natural to have that much black on one motorcycle. I enjoy a black Harley as much as the next guy, but it"s got to have some Chrome, Chrome, Chrome.

after riding a sporty that i personally chopped (mildly) ill say i like the look of it- as hd i think is tryin like hell to apeal to a younger generation- and even with my 3.3 gallon tank i was still stoppin every 125 miles or so for fuel- and to rest my ass- lol as mine wore struts

Over here in Australia there is a HD dealers build off. 49 dealers here each have a 48 to customise anyway they want to. Then its up to the people to vote on the end result and the winner.

Have a look and enjoy them all.

Some real nice work on most of those 48's
