Take a look at this guys: All those cafe bikes we've built and put clubman on? Well, it looks like a manufacturer took a hint and is coming out with a bike with clubman bars as stock equipment!!!   ;D

Haha.  That's cool.

Sigh, it is nicely done. But its another example of Harley's "store bought custom" model.

I have mixed feelings as it takes away from those who truly customize with B,S & T, but it does put needed cash flow into the industry.

If Harley has done anything in the last 20 years (nothing for me) they have indeed sucked a lot of capital into the motorcycle industry..

I want one. Then again, I've been saying that about the Buells since they went into major production.

I love my 06 lightning... I think it is the best base plateform of todays bikes to mod for a great city stomper (IE: cafe racer). Next year I plan on picking up a 09 lightning all blacked out..

That 1125cr (wonder what CR stands for  ::) ) would almost be perfect if they would find a way to cool the bike besides those lame F4 fighter intakes and switch the firebolt style seat w/ the lightning setup.

Holy unnecessary F-18 intakes. With out those it might be somewhat decent.
I heard that the 1125R was not doing to bad at the tracks.
To think, a Harley going faster than other bikes. Whats the world coming to.

Well, technically it's a Bombardier engine.  ;D

I love Harleys, (Sporties particularly) but I've ridden a few Buell's and have always walked away disappointed. Too tall, too short, (in length) and too twitchy. Not all that ironic then, that the Buell now comes with poor man's clip ons..........  ::)
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
