I really liked the changes for 2012 but I don't like the colors at all.

I like dynas, expecially the Street Bob - just not enough leg room for me without going to forward controls.... and that defeats the floorboards. heck, my RKC doesn't have the leg room my Fat Boy did. I feel jammed up on it. thankgoodness I'm an old man that dowesn't ride that much anymore... I'd never make it.

The only thing I liked about the OP statement was the George Castanza part. My self I think the 12 line up is pretty good.

There is an abundance of later models on the market. Go shoppin' 'till you find one that makes your pants go crazy.

Didnt they reduce the size of the ECM and implement a "black box" that does away with fuses and eliminates "short circuit" problems. Not to mention the tweekers dream software package and hardware to make changes with a laptop at home in stead of taking it back to dealer?
Somewhere there's a 300 lb guy in a cheeto's stained shirt with an extra large pocket protector full of pencils, pens and stuff, cleaning his glasses and thinking finally they have a model I can work on with my window 7 laptop instead of all those greasy tools.
yep what some find disappointing is heaven to others....Jeeze, the end is closer than I thought.

Cant help but wonder if the folks that are dissapointed were planning on buying a bike this year or not.
I am. So interstingly enough I am happy with the changes since I get the bike I was going to buy anyway with a bigger motor.
