How much does it weigh? Dimensions? Most important, how much will it cost? Last, but not least, will dealers actually push the bike?
Harley used to have an adventure bike. The Buell Ulysses. It was a good bike but HD didn't market it appropriately and the dealers (some have said) treated the line as an unwanted step child. So, it was discontinued.
Why would the bike in the OP be any different?

This thing aint meant for city boys. But I am sure a few will never leave the pavement. Myself, I would like more American made options for bikes other than typical Harley. Maybe the others guys have to big of stranglehold.
It is not all Japs making these. Ducati and Triumph too.
"Adventure" bikes are designed for moderate off roading plus street. "Dual purpose." That thing looks massive. As in, if the rider drops it, he'd better have a buddy to pick it up.

GSs come in small and bigger. The small doing more agressive riding and the GS being more dual sport. Myself i would jsut want to go on dirt roads, and would want a hair more comfort getting there, then a tiny bike.
BMW GS have been rode around the world. Myself, I am to much of wuss to go that far on them. I rode my Ultra to Artic Circle. Sure that would have been nice for a few hundred miles. But the thousands of miles to get there the Ultra was nice. But sure seen alot of the bigger size GS.
I think a function Harley like this that is not all pretty, is very cool. Except the tinted windhsield is stupid. Can't get away from the chic vein of Harleys.

iIf Iwas going to do an around town bike this would be it. I have thought about sportster. But I would a big windshield, and big bags, and be a little road king quick. Not that would be bad.

My two questions-
1) How much does it cost? HD will likely hang a 20 grand price tag on it, thus excluding most people from wanting to buy it.
2) How much does it weigh? If I take a bike off road, even if its just on dirt or gravel roads, it needs to be light enough to whip around fairly easy. I've had my Road King, Electra Glide and Super Glide on gravel roads and it's not a fun time on a big heavy bike.
