Default 2014 Models....not really excited about them

So tell me, is it just me or is anybody else a bit disappointed with the 2014 bikes? I think that they are incredible machines of course, but I feel like HD took a big step away from the classic look this year. Chopped fenders, no spokes, etc. I have a road king classic (04) so a part of me is mourning the fact that they aren't make a classic anymore. Just the regular RK. What do you think?

Idk. I just bought a 14 SG and I love it. I had a 2010 Deluxe so I do appreciate the vintage look but the new styling is sharp and sleek. My buddy rides an 08 SG and side by side the 08 front end , to me , just doesnt do it. Like when you see a Harley from the 80's. Just one mans opinion. Tastes vary thats why harley sells more than one model.

So Jimmy. Just out for a TROLL?

Tell me TROLL, what don't you like about the 2014s? Give us some specific TROLL examples.

Do TROLLs even ride?

haha....well this troll rides! I just have always admired how Harley has done a fine job of mixing the old with the new. But I just feel like this year there is a bit more new than old. That's all. Trust me-if I hit the lottery tomorrow I'd be first in line at the dealership to get another bike.
