The '08 Sportster 883 is listed as 45/60 city/hwy. Like GFF said, "Chrome won't get you home, but it might get you laid."

better watch out then........one of those would be right up my alley.......no more pushing back to the top, just braaaaaaaap right back up & back down

LOL... well just dont ride my ass. If you have an engine you better be passin' me.

while not arguing for this particular instance, i think the concept of a machine in between motox and dh 2-wheelers has promise. electric power might be the answer to trail access issues for the motox crowd, and why not make it lighter once the design constraints of the gas engine are removed?

honestly i prefer the KTM approach just build a real MX bike with an electric engine. not such an abomination like this derbi thing...

according to this they will go into production next year.
