I think it's a sharp lookin' bike except for those gawd-awful wheels. That was part of my first impression when I walked up to it at a dealer. A nice lookin' backside, then walked around to the front and "WHOA!"
Not wild about the 240 tire on the back but otherwise I like it. I just don't get the 240 rear tire thing. Have a 200 on my Night Train and that's more than big enough for me. The new Fatboy would look even better if it was lowered in the back.
I don't care for the turn signals off the bars and the nacelle, pipes, etc It will be fun to see they mods folks will be doing to the bike in the coming months. As it sits, it needs a lot of work to make into something I would ride.
I liked it when I first looked at the new photos, then I got to ride it and now I can't get the Elvis Presley song steamroller out of my head... if i had one I wouldn't be upset at all it's a really nice bike, probably have a tough time choosing the color?
It's a good looking bike for sure, but what I see when I look at it is "Harley meets Back to the Future". Like, the wheels and entire front end look like they were stuck on there to make something look newer. They feel out of place to me.
