Lost some nice models in 08
I'm gonna miss the springer !!! Hope it makes a return in the future
We lost some really cool models this year, but gained a few. What are you thoughts about the new models?

RE: Lost some nice models in 08
Verdict is out untill I see them in person. That said I think they have potential. I can say for certain though the Rocker standard with the grey engine turns me off, I preffer black always. And the rear tail being grey instead of color matched to the frame takes away from the hard tail look it is supposed to resemble. But the C model I think I may like but have to see it. And the Fatbob looks interesting in pics, not sure if I am a fan of the dual lamps but other then that I think it looks good. Not trading the 06 WG in on any of them though.

RE: Lost some nice models in 08
It's making me very sad to see Harley go with girly designs.
I'm a fan of the Exile bike look but not the new rounded, curvy, sleek, smooth looks.
Another thing I'm disappointed in is the larger engines, during this new era of Green engines.
Yeah, ok, I love powerful engines but I'd like to also see H-D step up to the plate.
We can easily redesign an 88A to get power and economy, even retaining a good sound.

I like aspects of the new bikes. I like the introduction of some new colors too. I can't wait to see the Dark Blue Denim in person. I think the bars on the Fat Bob as pretty sweet. I'm going to see what it will take to get those put onto a SB.
