It's really not that bad. As said before, there's likely a market out there for it. For the first time bike or HD owner maybe??

Looks pretty good without the bags. I think it is overpriced though.

The older (70s) Super Glides were built on Touring frames and a Sportster front end. I would really like to see something like that again.

It's not for me. I prefer my Road King. But ugly and stupid are not the words that come to mind.

Not a fan from the pictures I've seen... but will reserve final judgement when I see one in person.

I like it. It reminds me of some of the stripped down baggers I use to see back in the Shovelhead era. It needs wire wheels, but other than that, I rather like it.

The more I see pictures of it, the more I like it. In fact, I'm beginning to like it enough that I would actually consider buying another Harley now. I even like the wheels.
