Shouldn’t this S model have inverted front forks?

 

Harley can afford to put dual front disc brakes on with the prices they charge?

 

I’m also, wondering how many years it’s gonna take them to figure out that they need a longer fender in the back to protect the fins on the freaking radiator . Or start making some nice long mud flaps .

 

Good point

 

Well you know, the Japanese did kind of lead with that blacked out look long before Harley or Indian ever figured it out. 1984 Yamaha 750 Maxim and 82 Honda Nighthawks were were both dark but Yamaha's Midnight Maxim series from the early 80s pretty much look like the inspiration for Harley's ST models.. as many early Japanese bikes had color over black like Harley does today forty years late

 

I had a black Honda 650 Nighthawk and it was a very fast bike .

 

Isn't the whole purpose behind the "S" models is having some extra performance built in? I don't see much here besides some cosmetic changes. They should have at least used the bigger 1250 Rev max in it. I'm down with the MOCO going for more with the liquid cooled stuff but make a heavy hitting cruiser with this. You never capitalized on the Revolution engine platform used in the V Rod...I felt there was so much potential in that powerplant they never explored, I hope they don't make the same mistake.... I like the look of the Nightster.... the idea of a sleek, fast, overhead cam liquid cooled HD cruiser is great....let's see it!!!!

 

I like it, but one thing guaranteed is that Harley will put a price tag on it so high all you can do is laugh. Then they'll look you in the eyes and tell you about their surcharge with a straight face.

 

ONLY 3 days to go and we get to see the rest of the fireworks .

 

SOME of the rest of the fireworks.

There will almost certainly be more model introductions throughout the year, just like they have done the last few years.
