I thought they were gonna pony up and come out
with something with an R/T (or similar) fairing.

Same way they missed the boat with the V-Rod
No sport tour, just that boomerang seating posn
and no fairing.
I rode a few of em. GREAT motor, but UN comfortable.

They could have really had something there.


Oh well !!
I haven't even seen a Deluxe (in person) yet

That poor pony has been pretty well flogged already, and it's timing was REALLY odd. Yet, it's a wee bit early to be called a 2018 1/2, no?
