After seeing the 2018 line-up, Are you going to buy?

Oh no, far from it. Until recently, I usually bought into the latest and greatest. I have an '11 EGC. The counterbalanced motors are a dream of mine. I just wish they made a smaller engined and about 400 pounds lighter version LOL.
Yep, the Switchback could have been it. I bought a Red 1985 FXRT new just like this one and kept it 15 years:
It was in the 650-700 lb range if I remember. Never should have sold it.
Hopefully one of the "50 new bikes" will be a light tourer - maybe the long anticipated Vrod-engine-based touring bike.

The above is the 1200T which they no longer offer. The 1200C can easily be made into the 1200T.
My 1200C is setup for long distances and weighs around 600 lbs wet with the windshield, bags, sissybar, rack, engine guard and other equipment.

I frequently have people confuse my bike for a Dyna. Which was the only other bike I would have considered. Although the Low Rider is the best looking of the current Softails (yours looks good), I'm not sure about the move. It has been growing on me somewhat.

I have to agree.
I specifically remember coming off the Monteagle Grade on I-24 Northbound at 70 mph with a cigar in my mouth and the air bubble behind that screen was so calm it didn't even blow the ash off. Aero was very good - supposedly wind tunnel tested - I dunno, that was the rumor anyway. It got very good mileage also - prob due to lower drag.
I kept it 15 years. Bought it in 1985 at Boswells HD in Nashville for $9800. Sold it to a personal friend in 2000 for $10000 cash. He rode it in our group for many years. Lost track of it lately but I'm sure he still has it and rides it. Nostalgia.
