New Harley for the Haters

Lose the apes and I like it!

I like it.

Agreed...lose the apes...and I'll like it better! Is this your bike? How does that 17" fat rear and 16" fat front w/springer combo feel in the turns?

Harleys turn????

Not mine. Brand new Harley model. The intro article is on Motorcycle Daily's website. I ride the wife's 1200 sportster and would love to make the thing more capable for my lard ass. Or I could just buy this one for about $17,000.

Handlebars from the Fatboy would be just right, I think.

Add sidecar and I might consider trading in my 87 BMW K75.

Did your momma have any children that lived?..

That's a cool looking bike. Some lower bars and lose the flip-up rear fender. I wonder how it would look with one of those tractor-type seats off of a '36 knuckle?

I think it has the wrong fender- would look better with something that follows the contour of the wheel.

They must be runnin' out of names... cross bones? really?

I can Harley bash with the best of them and I think it looks great!

That bike looks AWESOME!!! I wouldn't buy it for $17,000 but I sure as hell would rent it for a $150/day I agree it needs lower bars, but otherwise that thing looks great.

Or some with the vintage bend of the early Knuckleheads...

Flanders, etc. have lots of good choices on vintage-style bars...

Hmmm... sensitive aren't you...

oh I forgot to type, that's a cool bike... good lookin'... bars aren't my style... but has nice post war retro feel to it...

The olive paint with black hardware fits it well.

The Star Raider is a much nicer looking machine and is 1900cc, 113cubic inch, with comfort and stability. But it's just my opinion...

Nice bike.
The olive paint reminds me of Mr. Cob's FXWG, just not as cool.


Seriously though, I like the springer front end.
