I saw one in person and just not a fan of it, just a bunch of parts thrown together. It's like a junkyard dog, kinda cute and well mannered but just not a star.

Me and a buddy rode out to Knuckleheads today for lunch and walked into Southside Harley for a look around. There were two of them side by side. I didn't like the overall look because of all the reasons people have stated. What I really DID like was the black jugs with silver heads combo. Very Shovelhead-ish. That looked really cool. The rest of the bike was just a dechromed softail.

I agree!! I don't know what they were thinking with that skinny rear either. It's like the $17k buel blast of cruisers.

I think it's bad ***! I stopped by the dealer 3-4 times, just for the he'll of it I asked about trading my 10 wg would be looking at 1500 out of pocket and would keep all my parts returning her to stock. When I got home and eyed my wg just can't do.....my biggest hang up is the small back tire.

I would go with the vivid black, was told every dealer got only 1 vivid black & sedona orange for now?

Yes, Just got it about a month ago. My very first motorcycle and already feel like I have been riding it for ever. MY only complaint is the bars. Like everyone else. I am reaching a little too much and its not good for long trips. Took my wife for a ride today and I like the fact that having her behing me keeps a little close to the handle bars.

I saw one for the first time last weekend at my dealer and liked the look a lot. Not as much as my Bob but I still like it.

Dont like it and in general not getting good reviews in these parts. Wouldnt be surprised if this bike goes the way of the Do Do bird.
