I wonder how many will declare it 'Not a REAL Harley' LOL. Why not take advantage of a huge market for starter or lighter bikes - and looks great too!

They kinda look like a smaller V-Rod in a way -- I think the GF will love one. Too small for me. Made in India is not a problem for me anyway -- its still backed by the MoCo.

As long as they are still made in the USA. I think it will be great to see riders buy one of these and move up as they get more passion for riding.

I think it fills a hole in the lineup nicely. Good starter bike, second bike, budget bike. Everybody can't afford a FLHTK.

Nice looking bike. And if HD can't build an air cooled engine that burns cool, might as well go liquid cooled and stop trying to hide it in a lower.

Denver was host to an international HD dealers conference this past summer. I had an opportunity to visit with several of them representing all parts of the globe. Based on what they had to say HD is pretty much considered the gold standard around the world. They sell for roughly double what we pay here. If this holds true these new bikes should sell like mad, and I would think in places like Asia and India everyone will be striving to own one especially if priced cheaper than the big twins. Could be a home run for HD. I found it amusing the story mentions "sounding like a harley". Will they get the sound stock or have to pay an xtra grand like the rest of us?!? Lol.
