    I like it, I know a lot of people will think it's boring, but how the hell do you top the Rocket III?

    I looks like a comfortable ride, don't think I'd throw my wallet at it though, but something nice to look at nonetheless.

    Quite like the looks myself,had a chuckle at the "looks like a Harley" comments ffs its a cruiser cant they come up with something a bit more original to say or complain about.

    yeah, the moaners amongst us will complain about it being nothing new, I'd be really keen to see it in the flesh, the more I look at the pics the more I like it....

    not a bad looker,
    I prefer the front/side on angle as the engine(all 1600cc's of it) looks a bit small from the side on view.

    100 horsys will be nice..

    Big Dave had a thread going the other day on this and they mentioned shitloads of access for them, a "stripped down chromed up hotrod" style would look sweet.

    Compared to the Rocket III radiator it's practically invisible!

    It would be piss easy to make it not look like a Harley, Its not the "moaners" that need to come up with something original.

    Looks to me like they played it as safe as possible, which is a piss weak platform to design a bike around.

    I am a bit undecided on the looks.
    It is nice looking (and I am not trying to be smart) but it reminds me a lot of a Honda Magna, expecially the rear shot.
    I think I kinda expected something with the beauty of the America and the beef of the Rocket.
    I would still take one in a heartbeat.

    Yeah - works for me too. I like the style - a lot.

    What you are looking at there is the basic platform. Just like Harley squeezes $6K on average on accessories - the 'huge selection' of customising options will give you the chance to dress it up how you like.
