As posted elsewhere:

I really like this motorcycle. It's quite nippy, torquey, nimble and very comfortable. Good brakes, steers well and, unlike a few other commentators, I don't mind the rear end styling either.

Like a Sportster for a big guy. Taking it touring next week.

I actually quite like the look of it, nice and chunky, but yes, the back end mudguard looks like it's cut off at a weird angle. Almost the opposite angle to a normal "fatbob" rear fender.......or is it just me?

Yeah it looks cool, the rear is a bit like the amf harleys ( yeah i know bring the bash on, but they did what they had to do to survive at the time)

It looks like someone said "Shit we need a bit of plastic for a side cover. Hand me that empty ice cream container."

Then again I guess it doesn't really matter because they know they will sell some blingy after-market "custom" bit for it.

Other than that, I think it looks good. Guard looks ok to me.

It's not a bad looking bike, as said almost a "Sporty" for big boys...

but why, oh why do HD HAVE to put forward controls on everything?? That bike needs 'normal' footpeg positioning.
They have done it before in the 80/90's.. there was an Evo Model with twin front discs and 'normal' footpegs.

Because the "voters" spend their little green voting chips on bikes that look like Harley's. They will even buy pseudo Harley's but there just isn't the profit in a Harley that looks like a kappa.
