For those that think the Low Rider ST is a bit boring.

Can't see the pic too well, but I guarantee you it's going to have another stupid chopped off rear fender.
and what is with these Dopey looking fly screen fairings? Cheese and rice dump that thing already.
I wish the moco would give us something that looked good for a change. Last good-looking new thing they came out with was the Slim, and they've already dumped that one.
yeah I know they're trying to appeal to a younger crowd. They got no taste anyway. Just listen to what they call music.

my neighborhood use to say the same thing about me.
It ain’t my cup of tea. But I also like broccoli, and some like carrots. We all have different taste(including music). Getting the younger crowd is imparative to keeping the buisness going. Not everyone wants a 30k touring bike.

Getting something a little different every year or so to keep some wanting the latest and greatest. Last year's all in all becomes this years trade-in.

And the beat goes on.

That being said, all cool bikes out there. fun times.

One thing about Harley's is that they have always been easily customizable. Don't like the fairing, pipes, fenders, tanks, paint, etc.? No worries, a ton of aftermarket parts for them. Or you can fab up your own.

I understand HD has to go after the youth market. I do think they need to lower prices if they expect to attain young buyers though. I really hope these young buyers will learn how to work on their own bikes and customize them to their liking.

Don't understand why they just don't post the link to the article they're copying/curating from?

Always bitching. News flash! Grandpas when y’all were young probably didn’t like your new bikes either!

The slim was ugly af. And obviously didn’t sell good enough to remain viable.
