I'm really liking what I see with the new bikes. For the past few days I've read post after post with guys bitching and whining about what Harley has done. Before that, it was constant bitching and whining about Harley NOT doing anything to update the bikes. You just can't make some people happy. I think the 2014's are beautiful and awesome machines. Are they perfect? No, but what is? I want one!! If I had the money I would go get one today. Since I can't do that, I told my wife we should save up and wait for the 2015's so Harley can work out the little bugs that always seem to pop up with new designs.
I am another one that likes the changes.
Although I can't justify buying one right now, it is very tempting.
I am excited about what might be in the works for the next Road Glide.

Frankly we Harley riders are spoiled children who want a nostalgic Vtwin that performs like Goldwings and BMWs. I think MOCO does an outstanding job of keeping up with our whining and still giving us a bike that reminds us of the good old days of American motorcycling. But I thought that back in 2009. 2014 is just more of the same as far as I'm concerned. Good job guys at Harley, I can't wait to see what you have planned for the Road Glide.

All this Bitchin and complaining about changes...if you don't like the changes its simple, keep your old bike. Problem solved.
And the comments about the Indians...give me a friggin break! "New Look Same Sole"? BS it's not the same sole it's a friggin Victory with different tin!
The only thing that is the same is the name.
I think I'll re-launch the Packard and put different tin on a KIA and use the same moto "New Look Same Sole"! LOL!
Harley has taken a bold step to design a cooled motor without changing the basic classic design they are known for. I will be interested in seeing how the integrate the radiator into the Road Glide faring or how the deal with the non faring bikes in the future. My guess is the Road Glide will get some sort of full or 3/4 faring like the BMW K16GTL. The rest may have it installed between the frame downtubes.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - the MOCO is doing what it needs to stay compliant and competitive.
Liquid cooled - mandated by the EPA. Also note, that with the new liquid cooled motors - there is MORE TORQUE acheived through higher compression. That's a good thing.
Infotainment - there are hundreds of threads on here about GPS, iPhone, do-hickeys, etc. - the MOCO took care of many of those things.
But I'm keeping my '13. Why you ask? Because I just got it and I love it!

Opinions are like ********, everyone's got one. And are entitled to one.
I guess if you like them fine, if not, fine also. No one is going to force you to buy one. There are lots of other choices out there.

Cant wait to have dealers around here get it. I have my eyes on the Electra Glide Ultra Classic with the Boom 6.5 upgrade. I have my 2008 Fatboy which I am on the fence of what to do..Trade in will not give me squat might as well keep both..who knows what I will do ...
