I like it. The pics from the dealers look a lot better then on HD's web sight. A set of engine bars and a little chrome on that front fender and I'm there. If you like it or not, the MoCo is trying to appeal to more customers.

Nice idea, I like it. Though if I were to go that route the Road King might win out.

I like the front end though, it would be worth a test ride when I'm ready for another bike. Maybe in five years.

About half the miles on my Fat Bob have been "touring" miles, and the slightly smaller gas tank here would not be an issue. The front end and the bigger motor would be the interesting differences for me here--I already have saddlebags and don't use windshields. I'm looking forward to checking one out at the dealers.

Well, we'll jsut have to see if she sells or not.

It will probably do well. People like having "new" models.

I sure like my orange scooter.

Not a bad looking bike, the bags are a little too small.
