I think the new frame, new suspensions, new idea designs are moving the Moco forward. Some will hate and some will love. I have an 06 Softail Standard and an 09 Heritage and I never intended to buy a 18 and I still don't. But if I was in the market I would wait a year as the first year production problems have to get ironed out and maybe buy a 19 or 20. But honestly I'm happy with what I have

Why call these folks whiners for expressing their feeling man ?

I can appreciate the new tech, the new look will take time to adjust too. I'm sure there will be some cool looking bike builds on the new platforms that will show up as well.

Priorities dictate that I'll be holding onto my 11 SG for the foreseeable future, but the new baggers sure have a lot of performance upgrades.

I can see how folks that like their Softails and Dyna's may not be thrilled with the new look and common frame. I still miss the old Evo and early twin cam wide glide, that bike always just looked right to me...

Yeah ... my plans of trading the 17 for an 18 are still real. Same **** for the Ultra Limited.

I just bought my new bike in April (2017 Street XG750), so I'm not looking to buy. I like some of the options offered, but the styling and size aren't for me. I'm also not impressed with the "denim" colors, looks like a paint job that has weathered poorly.

I will have to ride a few to decide. The blinkers on the deluxe are retarded. The heritage looks bad a$$ kinda curious how the new softail chassis handles especially with substantially more power.
Was hoping for a white RKS. Honestly I hope the new bikes are an enormous success so the market will be even more flooded with newer bikes for cheap.

Harley stock down in trading. Apparently, investors are not thrilled with the new releases. Time will tell if this attracts the new buyers. I still just think Harley is doing the wrong thing to attract the new generation of riders. They are more interested in performance over style.
