Nice looking touring machine! My bet is that it technically beats anything Harley offers on every criteria. But in the end, I want some specs and I bet it's not cheap either.
If I was looking for a tourer it would be it. In the you tube video posted above they mention something about it being hot rod??? WTF? My idea of motorcycle hot rod from the factory is NRS or F... Am I wrong?
Yes and the photos you provided prove it, the bike is ugly WITHOUT the rear bags on it, that fender and seat are horrendous, with bags the bike makes sense
Here is another "F" that I found from our friends in the Forum "bagger" section..
I think if HD would do some kind of quick removal bag system - such as they did on the Switchback and change those Handlebars - they might be on to something. JMO
I sat on a Muscle at the dealer yesterday - the riding position is completely wrong for me. Perhaps if HD would make the postion more like the "A/AW" line. Handlebars for me are too far forward and low.
as of yesterday my local dealer has 4 deposits already on this thing without having one in the showroom and countless inquires. he isnt expecting the actual bike in for a few weeks
While I was buying my Triumph (who also sells Polaris, Honda and Yamaha) I was looking at the Goldwings etc.. with a friend of mine and commented on how terrible it is that all these Baggers etc... "still sport the footage of antennas etc... off the back end looking ridiculous and how my Automobiles for the last decade or so have a small shark fin on the roof to communicate with the outside world" and here Honda has boldly broken the dopey Antenna barrier and replaced it with a much smaller less intrusive antenna.
