A breakout with a 114 M8? Who would complain about that? The new bikes look too "educated" for me but the Breakout I must see in person.

At this point, the only real classic-looking Harley left is the Road King. That's about the only thing left in the lineup that has somewhat of a traditional look and I am sure in a season or two Harley will even turn that into some futuristic-looking Area 51 vehicle. I can see a lot of folks who want the classic type of style moving to Indian.

Indians look like overdone bulky out of date trying to hard to look like a Harley to me.

As a former Dyna owner, I'm glad HD dropped the old Dynas. As much as I tried to like them, after owning four over the years, and having issues with most of them, I hope the new Softtail version works out.

Another point is, as I've aged, the ergos on the old Dynas just didn't work for me any more. Knees and hips don't bend enough for Low Rider or Street Bob. I hope the new versions work better.

It's not that I like or don't like the 2018 models, I'm happy with my 2015.

I recently moved from a non handling Armchair with no brakes to a Dyna that does both of those things Very well.
Why on earth would I want to go back to a Softail.

Give me an Evo with plenty of chrome, carb and loud pipes!
The only thing missing were the cheerleader outfits.
I went to the garage...My Shovel and Evo don't look too worried.
