Nice styling! Too bad we won't be seeing it this side of the pond. Wonder if it will be more or less expensive than a Buell.

Have you seen Tor dogging the bike on Raptors and Rockets? Great little video.

I like the content, but good god, use the scaling tool in PhotoShop instead of squishing the photos. Slice up some of the images for a quicker download, and if you don't have a high-res version of a logo, don't scale the damn thing up to 400%. And could they throw in a table or two to make the content readable? |

Well Harley has officially screwed the pooch as far as I'm concerned If they don't bring it here. I think that would be a pretty good seller and somthing that would bring more people into the showroom. They're always on about trying to attract a younger demographic, well here's the bike that will do it.

Phah..."Dirt Track Inspired". Get rid of those silly looking pipes, lace up some alloy rims with spokes, even (GASP!) a couple of fuel injectors at the rear of the cylinder head, with big air filters (ala XR1000) and then you'd have a "dirt track inspired" HD. This is dirt track for the Pepsi Generation. A miss in my humble opinion.

So you want the real thing Cuddy? Not in this lifetime. I'd just buy a used Sporty, peruse the Stortz catalog, and make a real nice street tracker for less than Harley sells this one. Too much work for most I guess.

Yeah LR, guess I'm just an old fart who expects when a company TRIES to build something inspired by a race machine they give it some clues at least. That thing looks goofy, period.
