I really hate to say it but I think some of the '18's are gonna go the way of the Edsel....the public is gonna hate the look.

I bet some one is marketing Indian style rear fenders to replace the new ones

Not sure I agree with the removal of the Dyna Line.

The Wide Glide has always been my favorite bike.

Fat Boy looks good & Forty-Eight looks pretty good as well.

Good to see the Fat Boy still has the solid wheel despite all the safety concerns with crosswinds.

Mick , I'm sure that did exhaustive research and polling to get feedback from owners and potential buyers and that's what they came up. Kinda like some of the things that they did on the the Rushmore.....a lot of people must have asked for an "Infotainment system" that wouldn't be right for 4 years..:icon_sarcasm:

I loved my Fatboy, Rick. It was nimble and fast. Didn't have the luxury features like my Eleectra Glide, which I also love

Same paint schemes in the touring bikes is getting old. Need some new lines, not just new colors.

Marcus....you mentioned flowers for Beth. Do you have a Sam's Club out there? Two dozen multicolored roses, which are really really nice, for $17.88 ! Made a hit with my wife.

I do like the Wild Cherry but they only paired it with another red.
