Yea I know what you mean. The new 2014 touring bikes are the best selling Harley's in many many years. The overwhelming majority who have rode one are saying they are the best bike ever from Moco. I think its about time Harley is moving forward. I'm glad Project Rushmore took the time to listen to what bikers want. I think Project Rushmore hit the mark!

 

I like the whole package. I thought it would be if they would just do away with the aluminum fork tubes and just go chrome.

 

That is a badass vrod!! Way cool. If i wanted water coolong Id just go this direction. Still cant figure out why HD doesnt just put that motor in a road glide or something and get on with it....

 

At least the tour pack still opens from right to left, unlike the goldwing....where the passenger has to get off for you to get something out of it.
The Harley fairing does look somewhat like the Honda Valkrie's...I mean the scoop.
But we are just going to put small shields on it and complain about the 'buffeting'...
linked brakes...? Simpler than ABS probably. When they start with heated handgrips that you can pre-warm from your blue tooth device...that will be a bit much. (Although, a personnal size pop-corn machine would be nice).
