Yes. That's what I've heard as well. Saw it in the shop, but can't stand the look of it.

It tries to be a Monster at twice the weight. Have read a couple of tests where this bike is put up against the Monster and fails miserably.

So it's the best Sportster out there, a Euro-bike wannabe, but can't come close to Monster. That's also why it's not selling, and about to be deleted from the HD line-up.

If you're going to go that route you'd be mad not to buy a Duc or an Aprilia instead.
