+1... Really want to see them put the vrod motor in the road glide... Its overdue

 

750 HD

 

I really like it. Something different.

 

I think these will be huge sellers. Urban riders, college students, women looking for their first bike. I know before I had my 883, then 1200, I wished Harley made a bike between a 500 and 750 - I would have bought it immediately. This is also perfect for young people without a lot of money and now can afford a cool looking Harley. I think these will be a hit.

 

Kudos to the moderator for merging the two threads, good call.

 

I just looked on hd's site it says it will come with a 6 speed. I wonder what kind of gas mileage it will get. I know that will be a whole nother market of riders. I have a buddy that wants a bike strictly to save on gas but when at the dealer the mpg on an 883 was only around 50 mpg if I remember correctly

 

I think they will be built in a overseas HD plant right? Or am I off base.

 

Im pretty sure they will make the ones sold in america in the US. I think this is a great move by the MoCo because being only 24 this will defintely appeal to the younger riders and the beginners. IF these bikes would have been around when i started riding a 4 years ago i definitely would have wanted one. Also thinking its a good first bike for my wife since she is only 5 foot. I also think that Revolution engine with a six speed in the 450lbs bike will be pretty spirited. I just think this is a good move for harley to get a foot hold in a new market.

 

Exactly. And folks tend to buy the brand they trained on.
Its the primary reason for the 500cc and that big honkin radiator will keep it cool on the 120 degree days on the riding range.
the 500cc buell has been used long enough for the Harley Davidson Training bike.

 

Got a new update about it, all I read was 500 and 750 options and was scared to click. I was pleasantly surprised, they look pretty sweet for what they are.
