My Wide Glide handles like a school bus, and I'm sure the bike in question handles much better. To me it's butt ugly with the rear fender sitting above the rear tire that far. If you want a V twin that really handles, go buy a Ducati. (ok, start slinging the barbs)

I bet your wide glide handles like a bus. I dont think that 21 on the front helps any. Again your bike is sweet to. I'm not knocking anybody's bike on here just critiquing the mystery machine. I'll pass on the Duc there whinny bitches

Yes I'm sure it will and with that power plant it should move very well. It Has been My experience that HD builds there bikes for the lowest common denominator. They include many redundant systems and over engineer everything. For example my XR is claimed to weigh 568 lbs dry. I have stripped everything that was not needed, utilized light weight replacement parts and have fabricated my own aluminum parts. For instance the exhaust weighed 36lbs unnecessary. The new system weighs about 9lbs. The current weight of the bike is now under 500lbs wet. And yes it wheelies just fine

I like it, Its about time HD put out another performance type dyna, I really hope that is coming to the showroom floor in the states. That thing is a pure riders bike. People have been slamming their bikes just to look good and destroying the ride, If you just want a poser bike why don't you just buy a softail any ways?

Not everyone likes it but if it comes stateside I will be trading my SB for one. People don't like the changes I made to my bike to make it perform better, and to be honest it doesn't look as good, but it doesn't take long in the saddle or me to be happy I made the changes I did.

This is the bike that I wanted Harley to make in a long time. For those that dont care for the styling. Go take another viagra. They need to put out more models like this to attract the younger generation of Riders out there.
Finally suspension travel that is liveable. An actual upside down fork other than the XR model. Get the point. Just like the XR this will come out within the following year.
This is the styling that will attact the Sportbike crowd.
