That rear fender is a disaster and could they put it any farther away from the tire?

Mmmm. IMO, this looks no better than the new FXDR. And no performance motorcycle uses twin shocks anymore. This is too much like what Harley has been trying to do to make their machines more “modern”. I think Harley should produce the classic styles and produce their new 2020 models. Don’t try updating classic styling with modern performance....

Either this is not a performance motorcycle or Honda didn't get your memo...

Harley would never make something we all would be excited about!
