Maybe, but I can't even figure out if that means you like it or hate it.

Any thoughts?

Never believe a Harley salesman.....Never, never, never....

Passing through Victorville CA the sales guy spelled it ALL out for me about 3 months ago. Motor, frame, death of Dyna...only thing he got wrong was he said prices were going to be up about $2k across the board. In a stronger market maybe they would have?

It's always fun to speculate, and sometimes the truth is too crazy to believe anyway.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Sorry. I really like the look - always thought that the previous styling was too flashy.....

No need to feel sorry! For me was the dilemma between the Heritage or the Fat Bob ... yup I know, one practical/sensible and the other one ...

Oh well ... ended up with a Fat Bob today. Screw sensibility

Totally agree with you on the previous styling being too flashy, I really love the new approach to the Heritage.

I think it looks awesome! Love the blacked out look on the new Heritage, though I wish they would have offered a model with chrome too but hey, there's always next year.

It wouldn't surprise me to see more choices next year. This is an introduction year, so they needed to do something different. As for me, I kinda like the blacked out look, and I'm an old guy.
