I laugh at idea of getting bugs out in 3 months.

Go get the bike you want now. If you really want a bike.

We are heading your summer too .

You really thing 2025s will be such a radical change,that it is worth going without a bike? If it is,I would not buy one for couple years or more.

Longer you go without bike, less likely you will buy one. And that's ok

And remember Black and Gray is the most frequent replaced motorcycle.

Old white hair people (similar to me? ) say all the time 'I never saw him'.

More bikes are black, not that many gray until recently. Not that I disagree that bright colors help

I do have a car to do the shopping on weekends - I tend to take the bus to work on weekdays as car parking is too expensive $14 AUD / day.
History tells us it takes more like three years for Harley to get the bugs out, if there are major changes involved. But I hope you are right.

I agree. Three to four years to get the bugs out. Early adopters are unpaid beta testers for Harley Davidson.

We are going into your summer, right? Is it to hot to ride, or will you go summer without a bike?

Don't expect some magic 2025 that will have perfect traction control. Waiting will be good and not good

The only thing that may be improved with the 2025s is the software
