Sportster Forty-Eight

USA – motorcycle – 1200cc

Harley Davidson is now thinking! I just viewed the HD website – something I haven’t done in a while – and I was impressed. The new lineup of Sportsters is rocking! Finally HD have broken away from the same old predictable models and taken cues from our nation’s great custom builders to construct radical rides that are actually handsome and will appeal to a broader range of young up-and-coming bikers. An applause is due for the design team and financial facilitators at HD. My personal favorite is the Forty-Eight. This is a gorgeous piece of mechanical ass that makes my heart melt and actually caused me to question my longstanding adoration for the Yamaha V-Max – not that they can be compared for any other reason than they both have 2 wheels – but because gazing on the Forty-Eight made me rethink my riding motives; rocket-ship-straight-lining versus cool-hooligan-rampaging. I love it. It is now my new pinup. I gaze at her and daydream, and suspect she’ll soon be my new mistress for romping getaways while all my other girls sit patiently, forlornly, in the garage.
