were you going to buy a breakout this year?
i already know that the answer is no. So why are we crying about it?
Anyone that wants one will buy. They are nice bikes. Complaints of non-buyers are just that... complaints from from people whose opinions xont mran anything to hd.

You guys have any idea how many from the touring section are now lurkers here? At least one of them is me.
There's a whole lot of interest in these new scoots, and if most are like me, even if they're not looking to buy they'd probably love to have one in the garage. For me it'd be the 114 Heritage in Red Iron Denim, or the Low Rider.
I've seen 'em and I like 'em!

I rode the fatboy and heritage this last sat. I now own a fatboy i will have Friday. For my riding it is perfect and i like how it looks. Plus customizing a bike is half the fun. If you have not at least taken the time to ride one go do it. The changes are great.

Nice to see the opinions shifting, Fatboy and Fatbob changed my views. Glad to see others accepting the changes as well. HD needs this to be a big success but I won't buy a new Heritage, just too bland, but a Lowrider is a possibility.

I think they messed over the looks of the Heritage way too much. JMHO though. The front fender on the FB could be a bit longer. I can see a rock being thrown up into the oil cooler radiator. Maybe adding a longer fender from the color shop would be the trick for me?
Still waiting for some dealer to get in a Low Rider before I jump on anything. I hate the waiting.

Couple weeks ago I was kinda shocked at the radical changes like many of us were. I had planned on an "18 Heritage M8 based on friends with baggers with the new motor. They were very impressed with the 107. Then the '18 softails were released, I was not happy. But nothing stays the same in life. So I went to a NE. Ohio dealer to see them. I was very impressed to say the least with the Fatboy and Fatbob. They are a true work of art !!! You don't know what to focus on next, just stunning, the internet pictures don't do them justice. The Heritage not so much, especially because it was parked next to a '17 two tone red heritage that made the primer red look unfinished, that will take some getting used to. Lowrider due in next week. Have owned HD's since 1973, this is just another change, but I'm impressed (never thought I'd say that) Just go see them, glad I did.
lucky for me i could just borrow their bikes so i dont need to buy one !
