Default Harley FXDR coming in 2019?

Looks kind of like a V-Rod. This isn't one of the bikes that was part of the other recent announcements, but if you look close there's a few seconds of the video included along with the pics of the Pan America, streetfighter, etc. Did someone screw up and put that video in there by accident?

Note the clip-ons in place of a traditional handlebar. And no fly-by-wire setup.

If this info is accurate, it has 90hp. That seems a bit weak, but it's hard to make much of a judgement based on so little information.

Sure hope it doesn't have forward controls.

I am just excited they are willing to move forward and introduce new lines that are a good departure from past offerings. It does now help make sense of their claims of all those new models to come

There was a long thread on this subject a few days ago. Yes, it's good that the MoCo is trying to be proactive and expand their product line-but this particular offering seems very weak: mediocre lean angle, pathetic horsepower, (looks like) forward controls, and why the huge rear tire? And you'd think that whoever produced the video would get the logo on the gas cap straight.

HP means nothing...it is the power to weight ratio...I an sure this is not an 800# slug like most HD's

Maybe not, but compare this with a Yamaha MT-10 Streetfighter at 470 lbs, 160 HP, lean angle somewhere north of 40 degrees, AND a $13k MSRP...Even if this comes in at under 500 lbs. (I'll eat one if it does), it's still a no brainer, and I don't think even the HD marque will save it. Sorry, but this looks like an impending flop. But time will tell.
