I don't friggin believe it! Kudos to them for finally trying to adapt. Will it work? We'll find out, but at least they are putting themselves out there.
I can't wait to hear what the grizzled, die-hard. kool-aid drinkers say. I'm gonna head to my local sleazy watering hole this weekend just to soak this all in. Gonna be entertaining.
As the kids would say, "meh".
Good for HD. I doubt I’ll own one of these, but best of luck to them.
I dig the ADV, and I don't usually like ADVs. I think it's the fact that the avoided adding a beak, and overall the bike somehow has a certain "Jeep-ness" to it that is very American. The Streetfighter 975 is cool but probably not a bike I'd buy. However I'd have to ride both before passing final go/no go judgment.
Harley might be better off making electric wheel chairs as soon all the Harley riders are too old to buy/ride their bikes.
that ADV looks like a dad burn transformer. the flat/bar head lamps they're using on these bikes are very distinctive (for better or for worse).
I salute Harley for this effort. I would be happy to ride one of their adventure bikes, either this 1250 or something considerably smaller.

I like it also. Tubeless spoked wheels are a nice touch. It's certainly better looking than a V-strom or KTM. If they can just keep the price and the seat height out of the stratosphere.
I don't know... the two naked bikes sort of remind of some of the modded out CB1100s I've seen. I think they may just appeal to some younger, urban riders who might appreciate a smaller, nimbler v-twin.
