Default New 72 for 2012

Have you guys checked the new 72? Looks like what a lot of people are already doing. Moco is really on top of things. All in all pretty cool. The red metal flake looks good.

I love the red flake paint. That's probably my favorite sportster model next to the Iron.

Yeah, I saw that in the other thread.

72 only looks good with the Big Red Flake option IMO. But, I can't see it being worth the starting price being $11,199. At that price point, I'd be looking at a 103' Softail Slim or a Dyna.

A little high. They're getting a little greedy. In the end, it's still a Sportster.

Slim's gonna run you $15,499. A bit higher than the 72, but at least it has a 103' and a 6-Speed transmission.

Also, it has an option for ABS. If that's important to you.

True, but the Slim is about $1,000 cheaper that the Fatboy and has all the same specs.
