Many of the bikes look pointy and modern, even a Victory aesthetic flavor on a few.

I'm sure one can modify the looks of these new bikes in the near future when the after market does its thing(s).

There are no 2018 Softails... Just like there is no 2018 Dyna.

I'm just not sure yet. I think where they got the most likes, is The Heritage. But I feel my 2013 is now a Classic. lol

Was in the market for a new motorcycle, for the past years none of the same old same old offerings of HD could entice me. Then they came out with the update. Didn't like them at first just looking at the pictures on the website, read all the disparaging comments on here that got more and more expletive. Decided to go have a look for myself and ended up buying one right there and then.

Don't give a flying **** if they call them a softail or not. Those who keep moaning about metric ... park one of the new HDs next to a metric one and find out how wrong you are.
