I was gonna say it looks more like a Dyna style except with out the superior control!

Just kidding! I think it sucks though! Nothing new in my opinion. Except you'll be able to tell when your low on fuel! I just switched to the small air cleaner cover, so I'm not happy that their going back to it! lol!

Ya know--I bet if the MoCo put chrome on an elephant turd,people would buy it. Unbelieveable.

Whoa, you guys are a tough crowd to please. I looked up some other photos of it along with a video. It looks fine to me. A good basic Harley but not too flashy. I look forward to seeing them on the road this spring.

It kinda does LOL! or a mix of the Honda and a Victory-sorry had to say it as the Vic's have a bit cheaper look to them IMO. Over all this is not going to be the new Nightaine-it just does not have that bad *** look to it, but I bet it will have a bad *** price tag LOL!

It's starting to grow on me a little, although I have zero interest in owning one. My main complaint is that the bare bones design and components doesn't seem to be matched by a bare bones price.

They had one sitting in front of the receptionist's station at the dealer I use. There was a line of 2-3 ladies waiting to get on it with the sales guy balancing the bike for them.

Nuff said.
