As is... mmmmmm, okay at best.
Add a little more rake, full rear fender and 21" front wheel... bingo.

Me like!! Me like!!! Mama buy me one!!!!! Now this is a bike I could fall in love with...Yeah it does need more rake...but am so glad to see the springer back!!! Yes I too think they should bring out new versions of the Knuckle and Panhead and Shovelhead too!!! Now that would sell..I am a big fan of the Panhead...would love to have one!!!! This bike rocks unlike the Rocker...now that is one ugly bike!!!

Yeah, that's a good looking bike. It's just a little redundant having a spring seat on a Softail.

That bike really does look a lot like the "Bad Boy", like others were saying. The bad boys were only made for 2 years(1996,1997) and were discountinued due to weak sales. The bad boys were only made with the EVO engine. I wonder what has changed that they think this bike will sell this time.

I think Harley is doing a much better advertising job in reaching out tothe 'younger riders' with this model, as shown in their video of this bike...

Hate to use the 'label' of young riders, old riders, or whatever, but if you watch the video you will notice the younger crowd is also included as a market group, with the skateboards, more upbeat music, etc....

Hard to tell, but they 'might' have a winner on their hands with the release of this retro springer...

I can't say I'm a fan of this bike. There's just something that seems wrong about having a spring seat on a softail. I've always liked springers, but, this one just doesn't do anything for me.
