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.

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 People complain about HD not keeping with the times, running old outdated tech and styling.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.

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.

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 .
