I dont see the size listed in the parts book yet, they show the bags and hardware but no measurements...
Just by look, they seem to be the same depth and width, but length I think is shorter since we can see the shocks.

 

I thought the Rocker was the worst bike the MoCo put out..then the Crossbones came out and actually was worse. Now this? The bar has been lowered. Horrible.

 

Not bad, I wonder how crazy the dealers are going to get with it price wise?
Could this be a sign of the touring line shrinking in the future? Or a consolidation of parts and manufacturing? Hope it turns out to be a success for the MoCo.

It will but not cheap.

 

AWESOME looking bike! Love the quick-release locking hard bags, kick-*** 2n1 pipe, and new cigar tube shocks! I hope the wider shocks aren't just for show.

 

Not your cup of tea...It's not a bad bike, but not what you look for - that's understood. Doesn't mean the bar has lowered, just that they reach out to other people who's taste isn't exactly yours. I for one do not like the look of the FLT, but I appreciate it for what it is and if set up right can look pretty dern good.

Your opinion is not gospel.

 

It's not terrible looking...but as I alluded to earlier in this thread, the MOCO seems to be between a rock and a hard place.

They seem to want to respond to the public's desire for new and different bikes, but are limited by the fickelness of the same public.

This bike is not ugly. It does however, seem to just be slapped together from the parts warehouse. No revolutionary design here. Throw the front end of "this bike" onto the frame of "that bike." Let's put the shocks from "this other bike" on there too. The MOCO certainly isn't really taking any chances with this thing.

Anything too radically different (VROD) becomes the "red-headed step-child" and is villified for not being "traditional" enough to be a "real" Harley.

All in all, I give it 3 stars out of 5 for "not being bad."

 

I would have to agree with the Road King comparison price wise, and I'm not sayin I'm crazy about the design....seems kinda like a zero effort parts bin bike to me.....

But what exactly is it that makes it "female" ?

 

I checked one out at the dealer last weekend. It was parked next to a RK and it just looked like a scaled down version of it. It felt cramped sitting on it and i am only 5' 10". The saddle bags are also very small but they do fit the small bike pretty good I guess but you wont be taking too many long trips with them. I guess it just looks like the sportster of the touring family. My wife loved it and she is 5' 4" and it fit her really nice.

 

Yep, these are meant for smaller people who want a "bagger". Hence the Road Queen title.
