    Concur, but Sportster-S vs Bobber 20 might be a toss-up.

    The S or the "ham & egg" Sporty? I see the motor similarities between the S and the FTR but it really feels to me like more of a bruiser.

    I agree, except for the 2 into 1 pipe on the Sporty. I'll take that!

    That stupid engine is so dang UGLY.

    I love the idea of hydraulic lifters (no valve adjustments!!!) But cannot stand the awful aesthetics.

    The Indian engine looks fantastic.

    The Harley has awful suspension....and did I mention the huge price tag??

    The Scout is the winner in my book by alot.

    I also cannot get past how ugly the Revolution Max engine looks to me.

    I like 2 into one. Just not that one. Looks oversized.

    I don't like it even there, it looks very plastic-ish to me. But to each their own. :)
