Default My 2015 Observations

Tonight was the first night of the Milwaukee Rally, so I decided to head down to the HD Museum to check everything out. The display of the 2015 models was definitley the hot spot. Here are some things I noticed:

-The Freewheeler is going to do great. It drew the biggest crowd. Even bigger than the Road Glides.

-Black Magic is not black. More of a blueish/grey.

-Black Quartz looks great. One of my favorite colors for 2015.

-The Radioactive Green was not as flashy as I expected. They had a Wide Glide painted in the color and it didn't look too bad.

All in all I was impressed with all of the bikes. I think the new colors are great this year.

With that said, I think I may be trading in the Slim and taking home a Low Rider this weekend!

To me they all look pretty much the same as what you see from any other model year. HD certainly doesn't make huge changes. I guess the introduction of the new 500 and 750 could count. The VROD was 12 years ago now.

That being said, there is benefit to consistency and I'd still like to see more pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Those were all of the pictures I took unfortunately. If I go out to the dealers tomorrow, I will try and get some of more 15's.

I agree on the Freewheeler. I think they will sell the hell out of them.

I like the looks of the Freewheeler. HD needs to add the Roadglide fairing.
