...that you get sick of seeing it over and over and over again?

Here's the rules for making a prediction:
1. This is NOT a slam on a particular bike - just a statement that you will see too many copies of it
2. Your $.02 worth is doubled with a color choice (for the math-challenged: that makes your opinion worth a nickle)
5. Multiple choice is OK, but only one each per HD family - Sporty, Dyna, V-Rod, Softail, Touring
D. Don't remind me that silly rules are never followed in the HD Forums


My early prediction: Softail Custom in Vivid Black

Reasons:
A. It's really the only brand new model for this year other than the V-Rods
2. It looks good
4. Dealers will order 'em by the boat-load
D. Of course, black

BTW, I won't see the '07s in person until tomorrow - so I haven't had a chance to track the drool in the Dealer's showroom - may add/change my predictions later

 

I agree w/ the softail custom, however, its not really a new model. Discontinued in '98....reinvented in '07.

 

Hmmm... Softail Custom. Isn't that a WideGlide but without a real suspension?

Lol...yep!

 

The wide glide has fatter forks and more rake. It also only gets the 160 rear tire. My ideal Harley would be a Custom with a wideglide front end.

 

If given a choice, I would go the opposite direction - a Wide Glide but with the Custom's 200 rear wheel. (Not that it really matters. I'm too short to really feel comfortable with the WG's forward controls.)

 

I went to my local dealer the other day and they had a very limited bike supply. However they did have 3 Softail Customs sitting on the floor. Only one other Softail in stock. I will say the Custom's look a lot better in person than they do on the Harley website.

I don't see them being the most popular bike of the year. How do we know what the most popular bike is? What is the most popular 2006?

 

the most popular is the one that sells most - Fatboy down here.

 

Softail custom in black will be the hit. Saw one at the dealer--sounds NICE too for a stocker. THat new night rod special is bad a$$ tho![sm=jawdrop.gif]

 

Softail Custom in Black (or maybe black w/black ghost flames) will be my purchase in '07

Bikes come in two colors, black & chrome
