Why? It already looks like 10 pounds of sh-- in a five pound bag. Won't that rear cylinder roast your legs?
Not more than any japanese v-twin engine ... look at that big radiator ! Liquid-cool my friend !!! 4-valve cylinder head, two front-disc brakes for such a "small" HD !!
HD is definitely trying to appeal to a larger crowd. Young people neither want nor can afford the large and heavy HD.

They're made in the Kansas City plant for U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
The Indian manufactured bikes are exported "to the rest of the world"

They need to lower their prices. For $17,000 you can get yourself a low rider S.... wth.

Some one else where suggested it was very similar to the old Honda Ascot (at least the engine) which is not a bad thing at all. I'd need a taller saddle, other wise, I'm intrigued. No need for a bigger motor; they have bikes with bigger motors already. They need to cover the 500-750cc market much better so I think they are on the right track.

They don't have bikes like this with bigger motors though...

That 750 is $17.k? And people have the nerve to complain about the price of a new CB 1100 EX?

No, 8.5-9k depending on paint. Actually a bargain compared to the CB msrp

Count me in as this being a bike I wouldn't mind a test ride on. Not a H-D fan at all but this is a proper looking modern motorcycle IMO
