Todays wasn't exactly my first choice, but it's different enough and i think will appeal to the masses

I likes it.

I can see a 'sporty' styled HD in my life at some point, be it an XR or a Buell.

I could see one of these for sure... i think it's 'different' enough for me from what i class as a Harley.

I like it, I'd only ride it in America because you'd look a twat riding it around where I live in the UK, but I definitely like it. If ever I move to SoCal then I'd 100% have one.

Edited...actually I take that back, you'd look a twat riding it in Shoreditch, but I live in the Lancashire moors and it would be ace to ride around there when it's not raining. I'd have black ohlins forks and I'd probably tone that blue down though.

Its a lot less shite looking than most Harleys so thats a plus. Or maybe just less of a minus.
Dunno about the wide front tyre thing, thats a bit of a carry over from boardtrack corners where the track leant over on the corners as well.
And it needs a front mudguard.

As its a Harley it likely has about 60 horsepower and weighs a ton so I reckon if I was going to go for a flat tracker style bike I'd rather have a Woods Rotax. About the same power (ish) but far less mass.

Plus I can leave my arseless chaps in the cupboard for Sunday best.

It'd have been better with RWU forks and it should have been white or red, but, yeah, its quite nice. :thumbup:

Best one yet and I'd prefer it in Orange, but wouldn't say no. Interesting build story as well.

As HD's go that looks quite good. It is still way to heavy for what I need, and that air filter would have to go.

That's not the worst thing I have seen. I always liked the Harley flat tracker and whilst the seat trim doesn't really line up smoothly, the rest of it looks neat.
