Happy with my 17 SG CVO purchase last week, especially looking at new colors and the upped by 5k price tag. Kind of sucks not getting the 117 and 6 speakers though. I say that but the 114 pulls really well to begin with and after a simple set of slip ons and tune, its is well powered and has great manners.

Maybe next year we see the reintroduction of the dyna line..

Notice no Vrods?
I'm pretty sure it was known the vrods were done.

I don't know, from what I understand the dyna frame and suspension performs better than the softail set up.

incredibly underwhelming is the first thing I can say. I was really interested in seeing how Harley was going to address the competition in terms of the infotainment system. they made the head unit able to connect with headsets for wireless communications.... and that's about it. Of course, they didn't show the software that they plan to run with the system, but man what a let down.

On the bright side, a lighter soft tail with that m8 engine might just be sick as hell. less weight and more power is always a good thing.

This is what I was thinking. It was mentioned over on HTT that the the were now 4 counterbalance bearings.

This iteration of the Milwaukee-Eight has power output similar to that of the Touring bike, but it runs much smoother thanks to dual gear-driven counterbalancers.
