Put a real fairing on it and with the right electronics it might actually be a WSBK or even MotoGP contender. Time will tell.

I think these new bikes are a great thing for the MOCO.
I do fear however, that they spell the end for the Sportster line. Sigh....

I have never even looked at a Street so I have no idea what the engine looks like in one lol. Hoping this has more VRod roots.

Smart move by Harley. The Adv bike segment is hot. Only thing I question is the bike's headlight design. Perhaps it looks better in person.

Whiners whine about Harley never bringing out new products.

Harley brings out new products.

Whiners whine about Harley's new products.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Due to emissions, any air cooled motorcycle engine is in jeopardy. The future is liquid cooling..just like what happened to aircooled VW and Porsche.

Smart move and it's about damn time they made a move to a different market. I'm excited to see the specs on this bike but I am scared to see the price tag. Hopefully they don't price it like a beemer....

I really dig all the new styles coming out. I have been wanting to see a dual sport just because I love Harley Davidson and I don't want anything else in my garage. my 2017 RKS will be paid for by then and I'll be ready to pick one of those Pan-Ams.

Is just soooooooo ugly!
But to be honest most of the ADV segment is very ugly too...

They did a great job design wise for the other ones (street fighter, custom and livewire) but this one kinda hurts to look.
Hope it performs and they can expand the line with other looks.

The first picture made me think of Cylons in the original Battlestar Galactica. Other than that, it's neither here no there for me. I wish it well, but I'm still holding my breath for the Overlord motor.
