Just watched the video on HD's website. That guy looks like a monkey humping a football that's riding it. Looks like you sit on top of it instead of in it. Cool looking bike though. I like the fat front tire.

If you don't ride great distances, I think the tank looks cool. It adds to the steamroller look of the front tire. I bet the seats will be hot item for the rest of us sporty guys.
