I think HD giving up their classic styling in the form of a fashion statement obviously directed at Indians Challenger is a mistake cause now it looks like nothing. Gotta wait for it to go by to tell what it is. Sad.

I like it. Now it looks like a full on shark, with it's pearly whites coming for you. The lines flow from front to back. Good job HD.

We are very happy we purchased a 2022. I checked them over closely in Milwaukee last week and my overall impression is not good.

There was no WOW factor for me.

I think the new fairing shape is a huge improvement. I hope it finds it's way to all road glides. However, I don't think I will ever have the disposable income to buy a $60k motorcycle.
