Pretty swish.
The speedo seems too large/angled wrong.
Apes seem a bit busy with the indicators and the standard mirrors.
Otherwise, pretty good.:cool:

It's a vehicle. Everyone has different tastes in vehicles.
I'm betting this will be a pleasant and popular Street Bike.

What a hatin' sportbike enthusiast thinks of it won't matter a jot to anyone who'd buy one.

Can't understand the attitudes of some. Everyone has their opinion sure, but I just like bikes without any prejudice for or against any make. I'd have a 72 but my dream garage is rather extensive and covers about all categories of two wheeled transport.

No question the Harley's are built by people who have their heart in their work.

Bike looks great. Styled by a lunatic who's definately not a hairdresser... what's not to like?

Did you get any input from the "head of graphic design" on the decals? Thought not.

What that bike has to do with this particular exercise in camp aesthetics beats me.

A veeeeehicle? Pleasant? Popular? God give me strength. That Harley has come to this.

What's Barbie's boyfriends name? Ken! Ken would ride this bike. He'd ride this bike... sorry veeeehicle.... Ken would ride this veeeehicle out into the desert, he would run out of petrol, he would die from dehydration and his bones would be picked clean by vultures... and everybody would fucking laugh.

There is a difference between cornering clearance and handling.
New ones handle as well as (in some cases better than) most vehicles in their class. And yes - I've ridden all of them to know. *smirks*

I'm picking that reading comprehension wasn't the strong point of your depressingly brief interraction with the education system?

"If you want a kitsch retro plaything for the occasional cobweb-blowing outing and a bit of urban posing, then the 72 is a supreme motorcycle. For anything else, it doesn’t work so well. "

If you need explanations for kitsch, retro, posing and most importantly... outing. Don't hesitate to ask.

The point being that is exactly what they're made for...therefor it's a perfect motorcycle. My RMZ450 was the best moto-x bike I've ever ridden. But it only has a 6 litre tank and was fucking shit for touring on too. And a Hayabusa is fucking shit on a moto-x track.
