Default 2012s really disappointing.....

Honestly, I don't see a thing about the 12s that excites me . The MoCo is really stinking it up . It's like they have become George Castanza , and just decided to wear sweat pants . Rearrange a few parts, add a color, remove a color, and here ya go, loyal buyers....your 2012 models!!!!

What are you expecting? How much can you change a motorcycle? How much do cars change from year to year? What has changed about YOUR appearence from one model year to the next..Did you upgrade your education or performance this year?


I guess 103's in softails and dynas is nothing. New audio in CVO's is nothing. New model in the dyna line is nothing,,

Sorry , just pisses me offpeople expecting some miricale change and blow your mind tech every six months!

lets see, all big twins (save for 2 models) come with 103s, touring bikes get oil coolers, and acrs, a new dyna touring model, not as many 'funky' colors, and when you look at the increased dispacement engine and compare msrp this year to last year, prices have actually dropped.

what exactly is it you want that the moco failed to deliver? water cooling? no thanks. a cappucino machine? these ain't goldwings ya know....

personally, i have no problems with the 2012 offerings... (especially since i'm planning on buying one )

2011 had 4 dynas and 7 softails, 2012 has 5 dynas, and 5 softails (dropped the crossbones and the rocker. were you planning on one of them?)

Yeah, and if they would have made major changes just as many people would have complained about HD screwing up the bikes.

Nobody's twisting your arm to buy one.

What exactly would get you excited?

The MoCo has increased sales this quarter so somebody is buying them.

The company has been around for as long as it has because it doesn't change much year to year.
