How it looks is...whatever. somebodys gonna like it.
Whats important to me is whether or not it succeeds at the first thing i said. Because that price tag is HIGH for a 1200cc naked.
How on earth does this thing attempt to perform at or above the competitive standards in its class, if the class is 1200cc naked?
In terms of performance, this thing isn't in the same universe as the leading 1200cc nakeds... or is this another example of the usual H-D trick of confining the field of play to itself and maybe one other knock-off brand?
Otherwise, come on. Performance-wise, in no way is this thing remotely competitive in its class.

Im with you. Keep in mind the word i used was "try." Much like how my 23lb cat tries to jump up to the kitchen counters. He is in no way competitive with my 11lb tabby, who can leap from the floor to the crown molding, but he does try.
For the past 20 years HD has not even made the attempt, let alone succeeded. Their drive to be better has been so nonexistent that even the attempt is impressive to me. Itprompts me to say. " aw shucks. Look at him go. Keep tryin dude. Youll get there. "
Im sorry if that sentiment was lost in my comment.
