I like it. HP takes a back seat to torque when off road. It looks like its going to be a solid machine. Color for those that will use it for true adventure riding shouldnt be a big deal since they are rarely seen and when they are seen, the bikes have so much dirt and mud on them you cant tell what color they are anyway.

I'm okay with it. Harley actually designed the front end around LED lights instead of large incandescent reflectors. I'm curious to see how effective the headlight really IS.
If they offer a Vivid Black version with a chrome nacelle, I'm on it.

I really dig the looks and the potential of this bike. The look captures urban Mad Maxx to me. I love that it is beakless. I've been wanting an ADV type bike for a while, and if it can also be of the brand that has the best dealer network in the US, so much the better.
Gazing at my crystal ball, it's going to be powerful and expensive, but competitive with the almighty GS from BMW.
Hey Harley, bring out the f'ing bike already!!!!!!

Oh for christ's sake! Just stick to what your good at . 3 basic bikes set up a little different, ancient styling/technology. Anyone who actually wants an adv/touring bike for its intended purpose, won't be looking at HD.

I don't think most buyers get an adventure bike for a specific intended purpose. They might have in their mind visions of riding across the world through sand dunes and jumping logs on cross-country trails in the Swiss Alps. But I think very few people will actually take them off the pavement for anything but the occasional fire road or dirt path--places you could probably take any bike with a little care. I think the main draw is that the potential is there. But 99% of the time will be spent on pavement for most owners. Number one selling bike for BMW is the GS and most sales are in the suburbs. And almost every bike you see on the showroom floor has street-oriented tires because they know that nobby offload tires will turn off potential buyers and hurt sales. 90% of these bikes sold will never see the light of day off the pavement.
