Harley is bringing back the 883 Sportster? For under 10K? Pardon me, but isn't the nightster already $9999 and technically VASTLY superior?

Give yer balls a tug boys...this isn't what we want.

KTM SuperDuke 1390 (aka The Beast) 190 HP in a street fighter?

That's some solid ad copy right there.

BRING BACK THE SV650, but make it taller, and more touring oriented, but don't exactly make a V-strom. And don't make it a parallel twin like you did with the V-strom.
