Harley is bringing back the 883 Sportster? For under 10K? Pardon me, but isn't the nightster already $9999 and technically VASTLY superior?

Give yer balls a tug boys...this isn't what we want. 

KTM SuperDuke 1390 (aka The Beast) 190 HP in a street fighter?

That's some solid ad copy right there. 

BRING BACK THE SV650, but make it taller, and more touring oriented, but don't exactly make a V-strom. And don't make it a parallel twin like you did with the V-strom.

Tortas Ahogadas for all my friends!!!
ClevelandMoto Podcast 550 Show Notes
Phil survived Guadalajara. 
Harley has 3 recalls and they all suck:

Oil Ejection Risk (May 2026): Over 88,000 units (2024–2026 FLTRX, FLHX, FXBR, FLFB, FLHXU, FLTRXL, FLTRT, FLHXL, and FLHLT). A blocked breather port allows crankcase pressure buildup, which can cause oil to spray out, increasing injury risk.
This is different than the oil sumping problem in early Milwaukee 8 motors that were produced in 2017-2019
Rear Brake Line Failure (April 2026): Approx. 17,000 Softail motorcycles (2025–2026). The rear brake line may touch the Body Control Module, causing a leak and loss of rear braking.

Sportster S Upper Triple Clamp (March 2026): 8,498 units (2021–2026) are recalled again due to potential cracking in the upper triple clamp.
