Default New 500-750 Streets actually on sale?

Anyone know when the new Streets will actually be available for sale? I didn't like them at first, but the idea of the 750 stripped down as a bobber is growing on me...

Might take a bit for the Street aftermarket to engineer and produce Bobber parts for them.

True, but I've got 25 years in metal fab work so I'd be making a lot of one off parts anyhow.

I'd like to have a look at one in person. I like the idea of The MoCo coming up with new bikes, then there is less chance of them screwing with their real bikes.

I hope you're wrong.

Harley needs to broaden it's buyer base. Hopefully, this is a start.

I think they will be around for a while (need new riders edge bikes) and will be a great commuter allowing a younger generation an affordable option for a new harley that has a sport style. I think I want one, the price is right...

This is a VERY dangerous developement. Now the sporty owners will have a lighter, smaller displacement bike to rag on, and they will no longer own the "girls bike" and Road King owners will be bumped up into the "geezer glide" section !! The whole Harley equilibrium will be in CHAOS !!!
