It wasn't till '86 that you had a choice of engine sizes on a new bike.
Also many people forget that the whole SE line of performance parts were originally for Sportster only, they did not make SE parts for BTs until later.
I can't find it now but isn't there a MC racing that requires the MFG to sell bikes of that class and size?

Correct
Overhere between 883 and 1200 more differences in taxes than in performances
When totalled my engine... chose to rebuild to 883 size... rectified and honed with stringent tolerances... maybe now is a 890 cc  |

This is not NASCAR or F1, are goobermints doing teardowns to measure size?
Thought about getting a 883, probably should have. |

oh
that was done with papers regular by the book 
P.S. I know every bolt and nut of my Sporty... so I will keep it... forever
for my retirement though... I will buy a superbike... again...
no need to do performance mods on these... they are good as they are...
the best of two worlds
a Sporty...
and a Sportbike... |
