Default 2014 lineup....... boring!

Aside from that hideous rear fender on the Fatbob and the pink elephant watercooled touring bikes the new line up is boring. Other than some paint and ABS upgrades nothing really new. Guess they spent the budget on LED lights and learning how to cut a fender that guarantees a rear fender swap.

Yup. But I do like the whisky amber color. That is all.

I personally think this was one of the most exciting model line ups in Harley's history. First liquid cooled tourer, redesigned tourer (both the engine and the ergonomics), all sportster have optional ABS, softails come standard with ABS, wicked two tone color options, and the bonus of having all the Harley grandpa's on suicide watch.

Glad I have my Springer...I'll never let it go.

Glad I'm not in the market for a new bike.

If I was...it'd be BMW or Ducati.

Lotta stupid stuff from HD in the last few years.

i gotta agree. harley is so lame with 95% of there new line ups they do. what a waste. if they want to make something cool bring back for 1 year only panheads and knuckle heads maybe even shovel heads. that would turn some heads. and get some people in the market for a harley again. not this sh$t they are pawning off on us now.

What's up with the two tone "station wagon tan and feces brown" paint? And that other color, what is that, "pearl beige"? That's what you paint a car when you want to offend no one.

How's about that Sand Camo denim paint? Whats up with that?
Must be trying to appeal to all the guys coming back from Stan.

Every year I worry they will bring the Night Train name back, redesign it, and ruin it like they did the Wide Glide. Thank God, safe for another year...No wait, there is still mid year to worry about.
