Well, so much for the XR. Dealer told me today that it won't be available until November. So I went with plan "B" - back on a Dyna.

So many people disapointed in Harley's 32 models. Wonder how disapointed they would have been in the 70s when Harley offerd 3 models?

I don't know that I call all those other brands inovations for the better....
I haven't seen a new Truimph I would buy,every last 1 of them is ugly,Honda cruisers for the most part is plastic,BMW with those engines sticking out like that is fugly IMO. If your seriously into the need for the best thing you shouldn't even be on a cruiser IMO. You want innovation you need to look into sportbikes.......now go look at an Indian price tag OMFG! I like Harleys & love Sportsters,wouldn't go back to a Honda cruiser if you paid me to. I did go price a new Honda Sportbike recently but umm 18 friggin K!? Hell no I'll buy a used 1 for a fraction of that. How much innovation you want? How come you haven't done anything to help the situation? Oh because you have no clue either?

I like the decals on the Fat Boy and never liked the Night Train, but I do agree with the yellow, although it was one of the early colour's for the Fatty.

And I have mixed emotions about Harley this year. I would have liked to see something added that was new exciting and different....I understand you don't F with a winning formula but it that was the total case than they wouldn't be selling any other color than black for all these years. I agree the colors leave alot to be desired on some of the models.......sour apple?????? come on...that's about as NOT Harley as you can get!

Everyone missed the big picture. HD is still in business making motorcycles!
