It finally hit the show rooms earlier this month, for those of you that drooled over the European release you no longer have to wait or move to Europe to get one. Now this may be old news for most of you, I know I heard about the pre-orders in December but from what I understand each dealership should of had two of them sometime after the middle of the month.

This bike isn’t your normal, everyday Sportster. I think they are trying to get a feel for the roots of the Sporty by making this a powerful little beast that is light and nimble. A bike with race inspired looks and street performance characteristics is what they have. I just hope they are able to make it into a normal production piece to liven up the sporty line.

This bike at 526lbs with a 73.4 cubic inch engine that runs a 1o/1 compression ratio with a claimed output of somewhere around 90 horsepower should motivate tha average user fairly fast down the track and through the twisties. I am hoping to get to try one of these out after I get home but we will see.

Here are a few videos that I found on youtube, enjoy;
