I do like most all the improvements they gave it . But the gas tank is way to broad and needs to be cut down to 3.5 Gals to make it out of the fugley category. Or just put the tank on it from the sportster 1200 C !

Only know 1 thing about it...it's RICE & don't know why the MoCo is pushing that crap. Have seen 1 on the road here since it was introduced. The showroom floors are full of 'em; no one here wants 'em.
I don't know what the HP is on this bike but it looks like it's aimed at the Ducati Scranbler, Monster 797, and the 900cc Triumphs. The Ducatis and Triumphs are EU bikes, so they have to have ABS and EU4 emissions compliance, which puts them at a price, and maybe a performance disadvantage.
I hope these bikes can attract some younger riders.
Buddy of mine (always owned metric) won't go traditional Harley but is looking at getting a Street 750. Honestly, anything that gets new people into the dealer is a good thing. They'll still sell traditional Harley's so this can do nothing but help. Eventually my friend will get a bigger Harley. Just got to get him on that 1st step.
