Luca Bar sent me a note about his new design that fits right in with what we've been discussing here, it's a Sportster 883 Scrambler. Wheels are 18 inch front and 17 out back with Pirelli Scorpion Sync rubber, not a real off road tire but suitable for mixed duty, and a chain in place of the belt. High pipes, kneepads on the tank and a slightly bobbed rear fender change the looks, a nice flat seat, too. The design is aimed at those who use their one bike for all purposes, sort of like a universal adventure bike.
With all of this attention on these off road/scrambler Sportsters, the folks over at the Motor Company are probably still insisting "our customers would never buy that." Well, maybe theircurrent customers wouldn't, but there's always the possibility of a NEW customer buying one, remember those?
