Yes, I purchased a 2017 1/2 RKS and love everything about it from suspension to motor. I find it interesting everyone wants no updates to our Harleys, I think that is part of the problem. Why would you not want a better motor, frame, suspension, brakes, etc,.? Harley has done a terrific job keeping the style alive all these years. Compare any bike from the 60's or car for that matter to a car of the same name today and let me know how that looks. And yes, I have been ridding for over 30+ years and my first bike was a 69 Sportster and I have had Panheads, Shovels and nothing even comes close to today's Harleys.

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.
yup.... it's over. fat bob is the best thing smoking... followed by the breakout.

I am very new in the Harley scene therefore I'll will and cannot give any comment for the past and present. We need to go on with changes and we are all happy not to que anymore at a phone booth and having internet to communicate among a lot more exiting new features these days.
For me I wanted to buy a Lowrider and 'on paper' the price/quality has improved imho where beauty or ugliness is in the eye of the beholder with respect for al the comments of everybody else. Still Harley is far from average and it is not easy to make everybody happy including investors. Hopefully there will be more exiting news to come for the coming months for the those who are now somewhat disappointed.
So yes I am going to buy a Lowrider
