MCN just put up a story that HD are realsing 21 new bikes over the next few years including tourers and faired sportsbikes, personally I think this actually looks pretty good!

It's got potential.

I've no idea what's happening with that adventure bike.

no there's a reason I didn't share a picture of that one, blooming horrible, reading apparently they are modular so tht you can chop and change parts across models.

Good idea be interested to see what else happens, but I am quite partial to that street fighter, if it goes like a conventional bike

More like a design mis-adventure bike than anything. I hope. Modular, my ar$e.

The way I see it though, H-D are never going to sell those to the HD faithful.....they're too much into the "Harley - American Dream - 1930s technology, today!!" B.S. philosophy.

And a sportbike rider.....well, why would you??

A Buell for the 21st Century.

If they are built as well as the other models then this will last 2 minutes. :D :D

It's got a certain Hoover-vacuum-meets-War-Rocket-Ajax look about it.

Monty, you beat me to it, if Cylons made bikes..... :D

That HD is almost as ugly as this.

Not impressed with Harley’s offering at all tbh, I suspect the shop full of new clothing, neckerchiefs, chaps, lids and billfolds etc have probably had a lot more design time spent on them than the bikes.

Do you know the first person to try and design a robot was Leonardo da Vinci.

I honestly don't mind that orange bike at all......it's just a motorcycle...it doesn't offend, neither does it get the juices flowing. The orange colour is a bit crap, but I think it'd look fine if it was black. 'Tis a bit retro, I suppose.
