Pretty much looks like a drag bike.
I would last 10 minutes on it because I would be sore.
If I wanted to have a performance bike that would make me uncomfortable, I would just spring for a Ducati Superbike.
Meanwhile, I love my 2018 Heritage. With the backrest and Sundowner seat, it is the most comfortable and most roadable bike ever.

 

agree, my initial impression anyway is, I'd be very surprised if it finished very high in a track shootout against bikes in the class/category it's designed to compete against..it's still all Harley. the trans is clunky, engine isn't super smooth, it has vibration and noise and when you throw in the price tag..well, I'm sure there's better choices out there.. sort of a niche/novelty type of thing I guess..but my test ride was far from being a creditable one, being brand new tires, brakes and not wanting to beat on the rpms, etc...and at 56, 6'3" and 230 pounds with a busted up body it would be like me trying to be a jockey and trying to compete in the Kentucky derby on any of the sportier bikes

 

Definatly looks like the "Kia" of the Harley lineup.

 

I'm 5'7" and sat on one yesterday. Felt okay to me. Footpegs are the same as all the rest of the Softies. Clip ons are a bit to short and low, but I don't think they'd be awful. Air cleaner doesn't get in the way of my leg. Fat Bob fits me like a glove. I wish it came with the front wheel of the FXDR and a matching 180. Not a big fan of the balloon tire look. Breakout is gorgeous. Can't see why anyone would want one of these over it.

 

I can kinda see what HD have done, a FXR for the next generation!

 

in 20 years that $22,000 spent on Amazon, Apple, Microsoft or Google will be a better 'collectible', probably $150,000..just sayin'....LOL

 

I'm just curious as to how much better it performs than the Breakout. It's a lot of extra money over a Breakout, and apart from a few degrees of lean i'm not seeing much on paper. Will be interesting to see how much difference the dual disc and inverted forks make.
I'm definitely not selling my Breakout, i've only had it a couple of months and i'm in love with it. I already have a load of extra money sunk into it, so i'm going to be keeping it for quite some time.

 

 

A gotdam circus bear!
