That thing is badass. Kind of a throwback to the Badboy which is personally one of my favorite bikes. 21" front wheel, badlander seat, and a set of forward controls and I'd seriously consider putting this thing in my garage.

It's going to be a lot easier to produce: FXSTS body with an FLSTS front end. Looks like they found some of the old cat eye dash assemblies in the back of the warehouse too. They are already tooled up to produce those parts so I would not expect any kind of delays like those experienced with the Rocker.
Of course, this is another blacked out, stripped down, solo bike. You get to pay a premium for that large a lack of accessories and chrome. A Heritage is only $970 more with all the goodies it comes with. And that's just the suggested MSRP comparison.
I like Springers. However, I'm waiting to see one of these in person before I pass judgment.
While we are on the subject of new models...how's that Fatbob doing? I saw one in my dealership. It sold but haven't seen any since then, either in the dealer or on the road.

I'll be looking for this seat as well...it'd look killer on my Springer Classic
When did they sneak this bike into the line-up???
This bike is beatiful... the black looks sweet with red & white pinstriping.... and IMO it's way better looking than the rocker..

I agree, I like it... The olive is a sweet color, but this would also look bad *** black if you threw on some white walls, and red rims....

I just came form the dealers and I had to pull it up on their computer. They had not even heard of it.
It promted considerable excitement.
Think about how cool it would be with black 2 into 1 pipes and maybe some beach bars. Hot Damn!
Oh and they had a new Rocker in with all this flat grey where you are used to seeing chrome. It just looked sh$ty and no one was paying it any attention. I personally think the Rocker will be a sales dud, but I could be wrong.
