Harley Owners are Douchebags.

Love Harley or hate Harley, whatever, but this is one sweet looking bike (and yes I realise it looks particularly un-Harley but it is HD trying new things and I can only applaud that.

Streetfighter 975

No info on pricing. That's going to be the thing that I'm curious about and the thing about harley's that annoy me. If it's priced comparatively with bikes like the Z900 then hooray for them, they finally got their heads out of their asses but if not it's just more of HD expecting more money out of something that isn't worth it. That is a nice looking bike though although I'm not a huge fan of that tail.

lol, indeed.
And if that wasn't enough, they're actually releasing this as well. The Pan America 1250 adventure bike:

That looks horrible... Actually, it looks like it was made with lego.

Not a fan of the pan am either.
Im wondering if HD has the guts to follow through on these bikes if they don't sell like hotcakes in the first year.
Like I said before, I feel a lot of people who buy HD motorcycles do so because they want a typical HD motorcycle. A naked streetfighter won't appeal to the typical HD buyer. It also may not appeal to those who usually buy from the big 4 or the European brands because, well, it's a HD and "HD don't do nakeds".

Most Harley customers in the US are your average uneducated rednecks duped into consumerism under the guise of blind patriotism. Are Harleys even made in the US anymore or are they now just another product of Mexico? No different from the idiots that buy Chevy/Ford/GMC garbage for the same reason.

I've been pondering this new line of bikes and the more I think about it the less I like them. If you look at that naked bike I see a little bit of Buell showing. Make of that what you will but if you know the history of Buell and HD you should come to the conclusion that an HD exec that didn't even ride bikes basically shit on sportsbikes and killed their Buell division. Now it looks like they're slapping an HD sticker on Eric Buells work which feels like a scummy thing to do.

I wouldn't buy any amrican vehicle. Mocked worldwide for poor workmanship and they just don't have the patience to perfect anything other than weapons.
