I like all of the black on it....
Dont like the console/dash on it....or the bars....
Put standar top triple tree and apes on it and a set of shotgun pipes....And it would look great....

 

I read in the HOG magazine that they are trying to market it to the dyna folks... and when I first saw it it looked like they took the front end and rear fender from the dyna and plugged it on to a softail frame. So guess they hit their mark on that... Not sure why they are plugging such a small tire on the back since a lot of dyna folks are moving toward bigger back tires. So agree if they put a 180-200 on the back they might get a bigger audience. Overall it is a nice looking bike, but not one I'm giving mine up for hahaha

 

If my memory serves me correctly it's on the grenade coil like the Rocker's.

 

Me personally if your a softail guy it could be a good canvas. however it looks like a bastard mix between the night train and the wide glide. i prefer the Dyna myself. it has potential thats for sure. But just seems lacking.

 

Its harley's way of making a cheap bike.sales are way down last year and no way does it replace the nightrain

 

Agreed about the nightrain, however they didnt put a cheap sticker price on this sucker.

 

Saw it when it was unveiled at the NYC bike show in January. I thought it looked real good, and felt pretty comfortable when you sat on it.

To me, a bunch of the models in recent years looks like the HD designers reached into the parts bin (sometimes blind folded?) and cobbled together a bunch of mismatched parts and made a "new" bike.

This one at least had a nice style and flow to it.

 

Cheap is realitive. This is the cheapest Softail you can buy.

Like others have said the rear tire gets me. 140 is pretty narrow. I got a chance to sit on one last weekend and the bars feel VERY narrow. It reminded me of the drag bars I have on my Sportie. Like the wider bars of my WG.

Other than those two gripes, I'd own one. Probably the only Softail I would consider buying right now. Never been a big fan of most of the fenders they put on them.

 

Not a big fan of the Blackline....but it is a good platform for modification. I will take my Street Bob and the few grand I save over the Blackline.

 

I like it. Great platform for extra customization, which is what Harley's are all about in the first place.

It's supposed to look old school. A narrow rear tire is old school.

I don't know why people get bent out of shape over details like tire width. You know you're already going to dump a ton of $$$ into a new bike...swapping out the rear wheel/tire shouldn't be a huge deal in the grand scheme of things.
