Another Fugly Uching..

This old man don't care for the front wheel size and fender nor the stacked pipes. The red tand looks like chit with black fenders..

Seems like their going for worse to worser....

Makes me wonder who in the vell is coming up with these new Ideas...

Maybe the younger ones will like it...

That's a great theory, but there was no way of knowing until clicking on it that this was a rehash of the sos, since the title of the thread is misleading -- this isn't a 2012 model. It's a mid-year 2011... same as they did back in Jaunuary 2008 when they introduced the Cross Bones.

And for the record, I like it. Do I like everything about it? No, but it's a great starting point.

I agree.

Harley should follow BMW's lead. About a year ago BMW posted several different sketches of a prototype on their web site and asked for feedback. There was nothing at risk as the competition didn't know which one was selected for production. One day Harley will realize that every new model doesn't have to be a secret.

I like it... but much like all the softtails...the price is too steep. Especially for a bike that doesn't bring anything new to the table.
