I am curious as to why they're calling it a Low Rider, as it doesn't have much in common with the standard model.

Other then the modified seat (Low Rider Solo) and bobbed rear fender it looks exactly like a standard Low Rider. Why do you say it doesn't have much in common with the standard model?

Thanks for answering. Wish it were the answers I wanted to hear though. P

It looks just like a Street Bob to me. Blacked out, solo seat, bobbed fender, standard travel = Street Bob.

So it's got the 110 SE. What about ABS, security, cruise, other goodies? Can it be ordered with a full fender? Are there color and wheel options?

Man, I was so excited for a new model. Don't know why since the only thing Harley ever does is bolt-on a bunch of **** from other bikes, and black it all out. It has potential to be really cool, but it'll still take a bunch of money to get it close to what I was hoping for.
I was thinking the same thing, it looks like a Street Bob with Fat Bob exhaust and dual front disk brakes.

The MOCO has kinda' associated the dual gauge Speedo/Tach dash to the Low Rider since 1977.

The other two S model bikes are blacked out too. And as far as looks go all Dynas pretty much look the same anyway.

Plus the raised suspension and the Tommy Gun exhaust. It looks more like a Street Bob with dual disk and a Low Rider Dash. I mean, how is it a low rider when it's no longer Low?

That probably has more to do with the premium shocks they put on it more than anything.

Yeah, that's Harley's M.O. Bolt various parts from other bikes together, black it out, slap a seriously high price on it and call it a new model. Some might think that's really cool, to each their own, but for me personally I'm overly tired and bored with it. I was hoping for a new model in the Dyna line up, or a worthwhile S-Model. Hell, they bolted on so much stuff from the other models that we're actually debating/justifying why we see this bike as Street Bob, Low Rider, or Fat Bob vs the other. Some will like it as is, I guess. Me, well I'm going to reserve final decision until it's released and can see it in person. But for now (based on the couple of pics posted in this thread) I'm truly disappointed.
