Amazing stuff for such a historically conservative company. Apparently there are plans for trying to bump market share.
Kinda diggin' that streetfighter.

Nothing to do with the new bikes, but these pics are awesome.

I'm curious how they're going to sell and service all this new hardware in such short order.
And, hate to say it, but there's now a strong chance of an ADV bike uglier than a GS.
I didn't think it was possible.

The unnecessary weight of most cruisers and ADV bikes is what has disappointed me. There is also no good reason for an ugly bike. I get that a function oriented bike might be a bit plain, but butt ugly is no excuse.
Ducati, KTM, etc beware if HD build a strong roadster/street fighter/naked that doesn't weigh a ton.

Time to hire some new designers. Designing to the choir will not win over new converts.

There's a guy nearby that has both a 2-valve and 4-valve Harley
They sound nothing alike, other than they're big V-twins, the 4-valver sounds more like a KTM to me
-------------
None of the products offered are anything I'd want.
I'm not really a spectacular customer, so YMMV and HD can be unconcerned about my opinion
.
I've spent a good while pushing an MTS12 in and out of the shop each day recently, and I'm totally over it as far as Gigantic ADV bike is concerned.
Truth be told, I'm over it with bikes heavier than 450#.

I'm interested to see what happens with that sport bike. They have to know the specs need to be there, or it's going to be an immediate failure in the market. And they can't have that if they're looking to be more widely competitive and remain profitable.

It's good to see Harley try to branch out but I think with there current dealers they will have the same problems they had with Buell. It always seamed with Buell the dealers had no product knowledge and did not want to sell them because they could not tack on $5000 worth of chrome accessories.
