A sin they didn't keep dual colors on the bikes, I am really in love with dual colors and dual stripes paints.
Do you think they will keep the spots for the FLHTK? Considering the headlight shape I can't imagine them... but I hope so, they are really part of the bike and without them it only looses appeal and carachter.

I wouldn't say they did a great job, but they're doing a lot better this time around than in years past. Better colors and actual changes instead of just slapping stuff on from their P&A catalog and calling it a new model.

That's what I'm waiting for! Maybe we'll see some new two-tone colors with those models too.

I do like the new colors! Well, most of them. They can keep the baby blue. Still sad they didn't extend the new design to the Limited models. Building out an SG into a pseudo Limited is expensive and you still don't have heated grips or rear speakers. Guess I'm keeping my '22 UL for at least 1 more year.
you can always buy heated grips after the fact. and the bikes come pre-wired already for them. all you have to do is to plug them in (and maybe get a bcm flash)

After seeing a couple of the new bikes in person yesterday, I'm really digging them, especially the RG. I like the simplification in the product line, and the updates make sense to me. I especially like the fact that they moved to the 117.
It's weird how when the '23 CVO's came out I was underwhelmed, and I hated the new RG fairing. For some reason it looks better now on the new bikes, can't put my finger on it. Even the contours of the bags fit with the overall style and the bike looks aggressive. Jury's out on the new seat, but I like the taller/straighter bars. However, I just bought my '23 ST in October, I'm very happy with it and have plans for it.
If I was a CVO buyer I would absolutely choose the white ST for 2 grand less than the regular CVO. Not even a contest.
