Harley Builds A New 121hp Sportster Around The Pan America Motor, Adds an ‘S’
 

https://advrider.com/harley-builds-a...tor-adds-an-s/

The all-new frame is a stressed member since the new engine’s vibration is well-tamed. The 43mm inverted Showa fork features full-on tweaking controls for rebound, preload and compression, something pretty much new to Sportsters (and most Harleys), while the Showa back end is regulated by an equally adjustable monoshock. Twin stylized street-scrambler high-mount exhaust pipes exit near the riders’ right bum and an oval multi-reflector LED headlight illuminates the way forward. And in another first for Sportsters, there are six cogs in the gearbox. A 17-inch 160-sized tire in front and a 180-section 16-incher out back roll over crumbling urban infrastructure while ABS brakes with one rotor on each wheel slow down the momentum of the 502-pound machine when its filled with 3 gallons of fuel. The single “instrument” is a round nacelle with a comprehensive 4-inch LCD screen including GPS. There are ride modes to choose from, and cornering ABS. And an app, of course.

Interesting, but I was hoping it would be on something bigger than a sportster.

Maybe it's in the design for later. :whistling:

Still has a fork rear swing arm, not mono arm?

Will it be called an "S motorcycle go" ( S car go...:whistling:)

So, is that even a good motor for a bagger?

Baggers need some grunt to greet started with all that weight.

And no, that wasn't a fat joke.

Akcherley, my 2001 Sportster sport had adjustments on both the rear shocks and front forks for dampening and re-bound. It also had dual coils and 9.5/1 compression (pulled over from the engine they were building for Eric Buell.

Sounds like the Sportster Sport.

Rodger, Sportster Sport it was. Possibly the best Sporty HD ever produced. Handled well and ran STRONG.
