I would love to have one in the stable. I like all the styling cues they're taking from the hot rods that are prowling the streets. Maybe the moco has finally got some fresh blood in the styling dept. lol.

Cool but they are far better options for around the same prices from a bunch of other motorcycle brands. It would seem Harley doesn't have the money to invest in the tech needed to catch up with some of the better brands entry level performance cruiser/cafe motorcycles.
I will never own another metric bike again, my Fatboy is twice the ride that my 1100 Aero wishes it could be. The hell of it is my Honda, which I've had for sale for a year now, is a very nice looking/ running bike that I can't seem to give away at any price.
Amazing how short sighted some of you are.
HD brings back the Roadster to the market and people on the Forums hate it. Did it ever occur to your train of thought that this is the "buy-in" for a younger generation HD rider. Eventually, they move to a bigger bike, and maybe even when they are older- a touring bike.
With that scenario- the MoCo has created a lifelong customer. Sure, the Roadster has a steep price point, sure there are other brands that give more bang for the buck. But, if the consumer wants to go with HD- that's their business.
Personally, I think it's a good looking bike.
