Lol... Good eye. I didn't even notice that. 🤣

 

tires are pretty agressive for factory treads. If they come with them that would be cool , but even BMW doesn't come with that much meat unless you order it that way. Being a ADV bike rider and fan I like the bike. As usual HD is late to the party, but I feel if the motor rips, they will sell them.

 

Yes I BET the production exhaust welds are better than that one in the picture. My experience with prototype cars (I have one in my shop right now) is that they are made in a separate section than production vehicles and that things are hand made on the spot. I'll even bet the title of the thread isn't accurate because there will be more revisions between now and production.

 

They look like Michelin Anakee Wilds to me. Many ADVs come with 80/20 tires, some come with 50/50's, the Anakee Wilds are one of the better off-road-performing 50/50's.

 

ok we will revisit this

 

I LOVE the look of this bike. It's somewhere between Mad Maxx and a Cylon cycle.

I'm not really an offroad rider, and would use this to reap the benefits of great suspension for touring (are you listening HD....improve the suspension on the cruisers!!!!!), as well as being sporting.

Personally, I think it's the coolest looking bike out there!

 

Why make them good when 99% of Harley Davidson buyers immediately make the bike run and sound better by replacing the stock exhaust?

 

QUOTE=nevada72;19499440]Well I wouldn't hold your breath. I've btdt on the adventure thing. I had fun and I've seen some pretty cool stuff all over the US. But now if I'm going off road I'm doing it on a lightweight bike and that would be a day trip or maybe a weekend thing. But Point A to Point B adventures are well off my radar now that I'm in a committed relationship. If I'm going to spend more than 3 days on the road, Cheryl will usually go with me on the bagger.



All makes sense. I was just curious. My only reservation on sift bags would be the lack of security on a long trip. That and water intrusion, but I understand one can get some pretty good stuff to avoid that. And I have a bunch of Wolfman stuff. It is good quality.[/QUOTE]

Hard bags cause a counter steer when contacting obstructions. Stay with soft luggage on trails, use tail bag even better. Dont haul so much crap. Take em in the hotel with you.
Example

 

How about a scooter crossed with an ADV motorcycle?

 

It's the preferred setup my man. they flex . think about it, every dirt bike made has them..
