I kinda like it. I'd take it over a Fat Bob.

The last good bike that MOCO came out with was the Fatboy Lo. That wasnt too long ago and it was a great success. Hopefully they can come out with a good-seller like that. I agree with those that say this is a good base-bike for mods. We will see very soon I bet. I think they should leave the Night Train retired. Keeps the value on the old ones high IMHO ! Slam this bike front and back and it might be a cool lookin bike.

Here is a pic that a local dealer uploaded of the ember red sunglo. Looks like the only non black color (denim/vivid) they will offer.

It looks pretty good with the blackout treatment and a sprung solo seat!

I think a big reason I lean toward bigger rear tires is that I'm a big guy (not fat) but when I see other big guys on slimmer, smaller bikes, it just looks... off.

200mm FTW.

Very disappointed, remains to be seen if something can be made out if it, but not in the same league as the Night Train, Crossbones or Deluxe for that matter. Does look like a fatboy Lo front end and a older standard softail rear end, but does not flow front to back in present form. And the cross bar on the handlebars is worth getting excited about ?? Nope! The 72 Big Red Flake paint is more exciting ! Think HD may need a "refresh" in the idea dept...

Yes she looks sweet, but that flake paint runs it up to $11,199 MSRP. You can get a lot bike for that chunk of change. Surely you can build a real 72 cheaper.
