Not sure what harley is thinking but that is one ugly bike, I don't even think the young crowd would like it, just my take. I think harley's are getting uglier every year on some makes not the dressers or trikes but the ones below that, don't care for any of them, no wonder the older bikes are going so high to buy.

Yes we are, and IMO it will be very soon when Harley will be forced to fully liquid cool all of their engines
Logic dictates the air cooled V Twin is going to become extinct as we know it

Bikes don’t interest me anymore….And I would think they won’t interest most people who rides Trikes …. And so I would presume that’s not who (Trike riders) Harley banking their future on….

I'm not too old to give it a go, heck if it has a couple of wheels and a motor I'm game. Weighing in at about 550# should make it fairly agile, I know I'm in the minority on this but I just like all kinds of motorcycles.

Cooling
Don't mean to HIGHJACK this thread….
:Coffee:
Jack, Im finally pulling my headers (CA bike originally) and cat. also going to try the ‘vented dipstick’……….any knowledge (naturally better cooling).

Getting rid of the cat will be a plus, the vented dipstick does work for many to keep the oil blow by and help in recirculating engine oil to the oil pan
Adding some fuel via a tuner will also help cool down your engine
Before you buy a dipstick vent have a look @ this video

I really like the looks of this new Sportster S, especially the fact that you can add mid controls. I've never liked forward controls.
I'm sure that I won't be buying one since I already have the Freewheeler and FJR1300 in the garage, but if I was in the market, I would definitely check this one out.

Ugly
I totally agree that it’s ugly. So for conversation purposes I sent the articles to me 21 year old nephew and he thinks it looks great. I know I’m not in the market for a Sporty but he could be. We had a long discussion on the merits of water cooled , EPA and emissions vs lost power . Quite interesting to hear his perspectives. I hope Harley can sell the thing but it’s quite pricey for a younger buyer

Air vs H2O cooled
HD has been dicken around for many years with water cooling . JMPO , the water head design seems stupid . Go big , or go home .
Think about what the consumer needs to spend on air cooling to protect your investment from self destructing prematurely.
The ledgen will always be there . All larger hp engines need water cooling . The new sportster design is needed to keep the company moving forward.
