Is the bat so that you can beat the bike (or perhaps the rider?) into some sense of order?!

Re: H-D sportster cafe.. i think we need a new emoji
Can't say its significantly worse looking than most cafe racers to be honest and would say its quite some way better looking than most Harley's.
Damned by faint praise I know but there it is.

The real one looks normal in comparison
Even bland can be a type of character

IS that bat for beating the ugly out of the bike or trying to knock sense into the potential buyer?

There's so much wrong I believe it may be inspirational.

Re: H-D sportster cafe.. i think we need a new emoji
The only Harley sportster I've even ridden had a slabby GSXR front end on it, with clip ons. a homemade rear swinger and GSXR rear wheel. the motor had been " liberated" as the owner described it. Deffo one of the weirdest things I've ridden, but oddly enjoyable. The most lasting memory of it is how skinny it was.

Cant say i'm a fan but I don't dislike it as much as most of you do. Still prefer bikes i can see the engine on...

Re: H-D sportster cafe.. i think we need a new emoji
I'm definitely not a fan of Harleys but to my eyes its less ugly than most Harleys.
Again, damned by faint praise but theres not many Harleys I can think of that look better.
Most of em just look heavy and lumpen to me. That ones less so
The baseball bat beside it looks a bit ferkin 11 year old charva to me, I assume its supposed to look rufty but it just looks a bit lame.

I bet underneath that superhero beard he's got no chin.
Got a mate who after years of a goatie he shaved it off only for us to realise why he'd grown it in the first place. From the nose down his face looked like Timmy Mallet.

It’s not a looker - and once it has all the stuff bolted on that it actually needs ...

Obviously intended as a base for a dragster. They even have a space in the frame for the second engine

My guess is it's designed by someone that doesn't have a long history of owning motorcycles and they think that this is what passes for west coast cool in America.

Lol you think I didn't know? I do love that bike in a weird way, it's very much what a Harley is and should be to me.
