Exactly why Harley isn't focusing on you and others in your situation nearing retirement. They're grateful you gave them your money but now they need to look ahead to the next generation of potential buyers. They need me and my nephews to buy bikes and I think the reality is the bikes need to advance and leave the traditionalists behind since they aren't really going to support the company anymore or for much longer anyway.

 

Yuk....👎😝❌

 

Theyre still godawful ugly

 

Could you please describe the ugliness for me? I can't seem to find it.

 

From the gas tank forward but that is the better one. Fat bob and fat boy are ridiculous, heritage is pretty bad too and so is the deluxe

 

Fake plastic cover where oil tank used to be,needs wide glide front end. Then Get rid of that ugly radiator.
Look at a photo of the softail fxst that's what it should look like. That thing looks like a confused dyna that's missing it's twin shocks. Or a wanna be dyna lol.

 

Nice Japanese copy of the Softail Custom

 

Looks like Harley is trying to look like a Honda. Yes, ok, it's a nice looking bike. But it looks like a Honda

Could someone post up a picture of a Honda Rebel and put it next to the bike above and prove my point.

 

I couldnt care less about the shocks. Ive always preferred the softails to the dynas but the new softails are just ugly.

 

I'm not totally in one camp or the other on the 2018's. But as far as the Low Rider is concerned, it appears that they really screwed it up. I say "appears" because it may be just the photography. I'd have to see them in the person before casting final judgement. From the pictures though, it does look very Japanese (poor attempt at a Harley copy). In some pictures the tank - and the instrument console - looks all wrong. What happened to the dual disk brakes?
