It's going to be fun watching people react to these new Harleys.

I'd like one for a similar build like a street version super moto. It'd probably be a fun ride around town.

I think I'd prefer it in the 750 trim.

My 02... I happen to like the bike, I think my daughter is going to buy a 750. I respect but dont like the conversion. I dont think they understand the intent on the bike. The bike to me is a euro-cafe style very reminsicent of the early to mid 70s stuff coming out of italy. Think Ducati, Laverda, etc. I thnk a bad *** cafe runner not a flat tracker would have been way cooler... I do think what they did was cool but instead of dolling the bike up in euro-cafe order, they made it look cheap. My addl 02. the head lamp is dumb.

The guy at my local shop told me it was going to be a great entry level bike for people who want to learn to ride and own a HD.

"Awesome! Should I wait for them to hit the sales floor and work my way up into a big bike?"

Nah, you don't want to start with a bike like that. You'll just want to trade it in 2 months after you buy it.

"Da'fuq? You just said it was a great enrty-level HD"...

Salesmanship level: Champion
