here is a pic

http://a1276.g.akamai.net/7/1276/734/299cb494fa0bde/resource.harley-davidson.... that paint has green flake in it too.

now who's copying who here. that looks an awful lot like a savage, a v twin instead of a single. i bet it's got plastic chrome signals. that tail light looks identical, check out those frame rails. that muffler even looks like a propane tank.. how much did he spend for his savage on steroids. Grin

Well the sportster was introduced in 1957 and the savage in 1986,so there u go.

trully side by side there no similarities,the savage is a lot smaller in length and height,and the savage fork is raked a whole lot more,the tail light is completely differant it shines the light up at the LP where as the savage has a whole differant lp light.and the sportster engine is rubber mounted.

as for reliability its better than ever,its not like the amf"harleys" at all ,u can pull up to a gas station and say fill up gas,and check the oil .instead of fill up the oil and check the gas

harley reliability is at par with or exceeding all the other motorcycle manufactures,and the craftsmanship is the best.no stupid stamped gas tanks!! imo. 8)

I hate tank seams, espescially the ones on my bikes! Japan needs to figure out how to hide them better, or be willing to do it on the cheaper models, e.g. Ymaha R* and Honda VTX 1800, no tank seams. V* 1100 & VTX 1300, tanks seams.

its funny because if u double the savages cc's it would be 1300cc and would have 60hp ,the sportster has 70 hp,and 1200cc.thank god for pushrods!!

Fuel injection is likely to be part of the reason...

Lets see if I take my CAR engine and chop off two cylinders making it a parallel twin with 900cc displacement it would make the same horsepower as the sportster engine at only 6000rpm.

the sportster has a single carb,its not EFI. Roll Eyes

sportster 79ftlbs@3000rpm.

u can buy a sport bike with 600cc and 100 hp,a car engine is totally irrellevant,a "900cc"car engine would weigh around 400lbs,say the rest of the bike weighs 300lbs(probably more),thats a 700lb bike with the same power,the sportster weighs 500lbs.

again common sense isnt so common,i guess!
