I can dig it. I liked the idea of the switchback when it debuted, but alas it was poorly executed. This appears to be a more refined version. I like the way Harley is headed.

 

Love the wheels.

 

I need to see one of these new bikes that will not mimic the last five that was just introduced , or is there going to be a 100 new bikes over the next 5 years all with one shop / service manual ?
And the price starts at $18,600 . With tax out the door will be $20,000

 

I like it. It's a nice concession to touring, but looks agile.

 

I like it. Different. People complain about HD not keeping with the times, running old outdated tech and styling. So they make a bunch of changes in that regard and people complain about that. They can't win.

 

^My favorite Harley^
That's the bike I was hoping for when I heard the Sport Glide was coming back.

 

It's not like you can't still buy an FXR. Time marches on though.
The sport glide looks good!

 

I was kind of hoping for the same.

 

yep , 100 new bikes that don't quite meet the expectations based on the name or HD's interpretation of where it fits in the market .

i'm starting to think HD should produce bare bones bikes and let the buyers decide what stuff gets added to it at the dealer . although i guess that would lead to people just buying the bare bones and customizing it themselves with 3rd party parts and leaving a lot of $$$ out of HD's wallet .

 

Cant wait for the Softail Standard to comeback and then its millions of iterations.
