From what I've seen, I'm not impressed at all. I'm shocked to see the SGS go all blacked out like the RKS. You take probably the best selling bike in the entire lineup and limit who will want to buy it. I think it's safe to say, the majority do not like blacked out, especially on Harleys. I was seriously thinking of an SGS this year or next, but I won't be buying a new one now. That will likely result in me keeping my current bike and not buying at all.

I took a quick look at the softies, and see too much ricer similarities. I'll reserve my final opinion until I see them in person, but I'm not thinking it'll change.

 

See for me and lots of other people the all blacked out is a good thing the big difference is now instead of having to pay to get it blacked out it's you guys turn to pay for chrome

 

I really like that Harley is making improvements to their motorcycles. I also like some of the new revamped models like the low rider and street bob. The mono shock suspension is something I wanted as well as better lean angle and better frame. What I don't like is if you are going to sacrifice some form for function go all the way. Make a high performing, liquid cooled, hot rod that blows everything else in it's class away.

I appreciate all the changes but not at the cost of what made the softails classy. I think triumph did it right with their new bobber, Indian with the scout, BMW with the k1600b, and triumph again with the liquid cooled bonnievilles. I Do really like the low rider softail because my first Harley was a low rider. The low rider softail is the Best new/revamped bike I seen come out the moco in years so good job on that and the street bob.

 

I have a 17 Road King that I am perfectly happy with. That being said I really like The Fat Bob and the Fatboy but wow my wife would kill me if I came home with the second bike! But I would if I could but no way I'm getting rid of my king.

 

Like others, I did not vote because I am not in the market right now. If I was I would certainly take a hard look at the Heritage, they did a great job with the black retro look, I love it. And after going for a ride on my 11 Heritage this afternoon the thought of not scraping floorboards so easily is a big plus, and how about being able to easily adjust the rear suspension, Yeah, oh Hell yeah.

 

I guess blacked out is the new HD tax for riders that like chrome , I like some of their new models but I wonder about who they asked about the others

 

These motorcycles will top every Best list. They're great. You negative Nellys will eat your words with a fork and spoon.

 

My only complaints are about the fugally 3.5 gallon tank and really losing the cvi pro street breakout I think it would have been great with a real tank and the 117

 

No not buying. The CVO limited colors are not good and the price went up almost $2000 from 2017.

 

Not interested in a 2018.
