Pretty disappointing selection from the MoCo this year if you ask me. Candy colors are hideous. 3 years down the road and you'll go "WTF was I thinking..."

I kind of like the stile: a mix of a Rocker (too macho for my taste) and a Deuce (just didn't like the rear fender).
Just not sure on the colors. I will have to see them in person to evaluate.
Biggest downside is the price. Here in Europe they go for over 29.000€ which is about 35.000$ at the current exchange rate... If you add some goodies like proper exhaust, new tune, and some other smaller stuff, it becomes very hard to swallow! I can buy me a Street Glide for that money and still go on holiday. Hmmmm...

I don't like it!

I'm sick of that "bobbed"rear fender the MoCo is ruining practically every one of their non-touring bikes with nowadays. I wish they would dump that thing already.

Have to admit I kind of like it. Can do without the ginormous tires and of course as a CVO it looks like it crashed into a H-D accessories truck, but I think it's a lot better than most of their efforts lately. Would like to see a sanely priced, not all tricked out version of it.

.....rear fender is hideous and looks like an afterthought, I dig the wide tire and overall look tho, but it aint worth $26k

I'm not in love with the rear fender, but if in the market it would be on my list.
