Just judging from the pic's I was underwhelmed. Front tire too skinny, cheesy looking bags are too small, wheels too trendy, etc. But after actually seeing one up close I have to admit it's a nice-looking bike. But still not my cup o' tea.

 

Maybe, maybe not. But at least you can get to the valve stem.

After riding a RK for 6 years the only thing I see missing I'd want is dual disc brakes up front. I'll never own another motorcycle of any kind with just a single disc.

 

Tell me about it. My Harley has a single-disc front. My Ducati has the best brakes I've ever experienced on a bike (dual) and my wife's Ninja and R1 (both duals) are pretty damn good, too. Then I go back to the Harley, and the brakes just feel so weak.

It's still my daily ride and my favorite bike to ride, but, c'mon MoCo: slap some duals with Brembo grippers on all Harleys!

 

Congrats on the new ride! The new red is really nice in person!

 

Or continue to offer different choices for those who don't feel the same.

 

You bet, lets have a choice. I don't want my bike to have to be like someone elses with no choice.

 

Love the 4 piston caliper dual front discs with floating rotors on the FXR added Lyndall Z+ Pads Front and Rear and now got stopping power that feels secure..



Back on Topic, think this one will sell to some that are looking for a sized down touring with 103 power ..

 

That is a nice looking set up, up front there Jay!

 

I was at my dealer yesterday to check out some rain gear, and they had a new red Switchback. I liked the bike after I saw the pics online, but after seeing it in person and sitting on it I really like it. It will be my next bike. The red looks great in person. Now I have to wait till tax time next year.

 

iwould not trade my fatboy lo for it.
