Good looking bike. I have a Sportster 1200 now, just for putting around.
I think that HD isn't in a hurry to sell them here because they know
their American market. I don't believe that the Vrod is selling well
here either and this would compete for the few people interested in a
sportier HD.
It is odd, or perhaps I am odd, in that many of the bikes that I like
(Vstrom, naked sportbikes, dual sports, etc.) seem to be niche bikes
here in the US.
