It definitely takes away part of the retro look. The chrome tank IS Harley to me.

You're kidding right? Either that or you cannot be looking at the right pictures.

And maybe this is their plan. Everyone keeps writing about the demise of HD now that their repeat customers like us (me at least) are getting older and the young folks are not buying. If it works and they stay in business longer to be able to support the bikes out there now that's a good thing.
I do however believe with the younger crowd it's more about money and cost than looks so they may be in the same boat anyhow....

I think they'll get a cheaper bike and make themselves feel better bashing HD riders.

i see a lot of the younger buying the iron and 48's not so much the other models except for the breakout. but those aren't big sellers on the east coast or atleast not around here. see more touring on the road than anything else

Hmm, 61 and counting and been riding HDs since 1991 ... sold the last one 3-4 years ago. Been without a bike since and now seeing the new line up, I might buy myself a Low Rider again.
Don't like them all, but I think they did a bloody good job modernising the line.
Can't wait to see one in real life.
