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.

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.

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.
