It isn’t targeted at us old dinosaur fuel farts. I do believe there is a potential market for the well off urban market that will use it as a status symbol, and only rides 10s rather than 100s of miles per ride.

Considering all the 10 year old garage queens available with less than 10,000 miles, I don't think it's short 110 mi range will be a problem for it's intended market.

Do you not like the rumble or scream of a motorcycle engine?
literally the most stupid thing I have read today. But can’t say I am surprised

Look at what that same amount of money buys.

Price it somewhere around $7,500.

Thirty grand is halfway between a standard bike and a CVO.

It's not worth anywhere close to those two IMHO. A Sportster is even worth more IMHO.

To much money and to little range. Was hoping for a range around 200 miles and an MSRP of about $25K. To bad.

That bike isn't worth 10K to me.

They are definitely something I would stop to look at if I seen one outside my local pub or HD dealer (probably through a leg over) Not something I would be interested in owning. I’m old school and still need that rumble. living in New York that rumble has saved my life many times.

Besides, I’m a loyal guy. I can’t turn my back on her the first time a newer, quieter bike comes along that doesn’t take money from me everyday and scream in my ear when I climb on her......... Just doesn’t seem like Home!!!

You guys think HD over priced this bike just wait until they unveil the ADV/Dual Sport bike. It will be over priced, under powered and it'll need another 3 or 4 grand worth of "Officially Licensed Accessories" to get close to what the other guys are selling out of the box.

Actually, you won't. You'll ride it for 100 miles, at which point, you'll park it to charge it. You can ride it again tomorrow.

You'll never ride it to Sturgis, unless you actually live in Sturgis.

It'll be trailered to Sturgis like most" baggers". Plus it won't overheat while chugging through town.
