I think they hit it out of the park with the Switchback.

It will be interesting to see what kind of folks go for it. It's priced close enough to the FLHR that most people who buy the FLD will be *choosing* it over the FLHR (and FLSTH).

If I could only have one bike and I were in the market for a new one now, it'd be hard to pass it up.

I just got back from the dealer looking at one. Its a very nice bike. I didn't like the wheels when looking at the pictures but in person they look very nice. All I will say is you should withhold judgement untill you actually see one. I do believe more will be sold to short people because at 6'1" the stock windshield was about shoulder height on me. I was planning on a test ride but as I walked up to it the SOLD sign was hung up on it.

I saw one today at a dealer. I wouldn't say it was "ugly"....it looks like every other bagger. Not my taste.

Spun by the dealer today.....only one came in, and sold immediately.

Sturgis starts in 2 weeks, and the MOCO only sent ONE here. Are they friggin' dumb or what?
