Making it's internet debut today on Harley-Davidson's website...

Just saw that...have to be honest...not really feeling it. I think it's mostly the tank, just too damn small. 2.1 Gal?? You'll be stopping every hour to put gas in your bike...I understand the bike isn't meant for cross country rides, but still....you'll spend more time at the pump than on the bike.

 

Flipped mirrors, looks like Harley is copying us. But otherwise kinda cool. With the fatty up front i mean.

 

I was gonna say... MOCO must be looking to see what we do to the bikes and are trying to make a (custom) bike off the line... Sorry guys (MOCO), we have more fun making them ourselves... Not to mention, by the time they get them rolling off the line, it's old and we are on to some other cool ideas..

But it is a cool looking bike... just about 2 years too late.

 

i like it. but would i buy one?....probably not. but its different and thats why i like it. everyone always hates when they make something different cause it doesnt look like the other bikes. but thats the point...to appeal to other riders. looks like they are trying to diversify the line up and bring in more of a younger crowd with this one. i think it will work. its a pretty cool bike.

 

what is the benefit of a fat front tire beyond looks? with a single disk brake, it would seem to ad more radial weight for the front brake to haul down. i like the look, but how does that tire size impact handling? better for bumpy roads?

 

Is it just the front tyre that's fatter? Not wider forks? If so then not a big deal if you want a fatter tyre you can just buy one...

They must be aware of this forum, I mean, slammed down speedo bracket, drag bars, forward controls, and not to mention the fork brace.

Looks nice and I'd love to throw it round some corners but don't think I'd buy one.

 

WOW...... I really like it.

 

Even Harley realise you can't see sh*t out of the mirrors when they're mounted on top!

 

Kinda like the looks of it but figure my 3.3 Gallon tank is small enough .. The way I ride 2.2 Gallons ain't no where near enough.. Think they would do better offering dual brakes up front as well ...
