Saw this on FB and just had to jump back on over here to see what the TMW crowd thought of these things. (Hi old TMW guys) Im kinda intrigued myself.

I dunno I kinda like em but I am gonna say the faithful are probably going bonkers but it's a numbers thing, and directed at the Indian market and probably China and Europe as well.

Aren't these basically the new Buell Blast? Something to bring in less experienced, younger, and/or less affluent riders? Good marketing move, haven't seen enough of the bikes to have an opinion of them.

It reminds me of a cross between the street rod and a the XR1200. Harley could have a real winner here if they ride as good as they look. The price is quite reasonable and comparable to other entry level cruisers.

I think Harley finally realized that the 883 while being fairly cheap, wasn't particularly friendly to new riders.

As far as I can see or know they are nothing even remotely like the blast completely different design. But what I know aint much. Blast is basically 1/2 a sportster motor meaning single cyl. air cooled these new machines are twin and water cooled more like a honda shadow.

I think that although the wanna-be side of the faithful will hate them, they will sell a lot at the prices they are quoting.

Nothing wrong with it that a set of loud pipes and some chrome can't fix.

Cosidering in India alone if they sold a machine to .003% of the population they would move something like 300,000 machines quite a bit more than HD puts out in an entire year.
