A people say BMW's are ugly? MCN said "Challenging Looks" I'd agree

Also where's the three point pick up? - I thought all Harley Fergusons came with a three point pick up for the plough

Hmmm... no risk whatsoever of that appearing on the shortlist for my next motorcycle purchase.

Have to go along with Paul, that is Fugly.

It's okay to be different, I pre-ordered mine yesterday

The 'pan american' is as ugly as a very ugly thing, but the street fighter looks good in my eyes, maybe fills the buell niche?

The electric Harley is interesting for me from a professional perspective. I can tell you that a lot of manufacturers, 2 and 4 wheels are looking at certaim aspects of this. It's not to say Harley have it right, but they are certainly going to break new ground with their strategy.

It looks no better or worse than all the other stereotype off road bikes that do not go off road. I hate them all and all the stupid metal box panniers and all the pilots who waft the bloody things all over the place, They take up more road width coming round a bend than a national express coach. I like motorcycles to look like motorcycles. They all suck!!

[Humbug]

Not a fan then?

[boxerscott]

Aye, obviously in a minority due to the enormity of them holding up traffic on our roads!!

Seems that Harley is going after the wrong market segments. Do they really think they can build a better ADV bike than BMW or KTM? Or a better street fighter than Ducati or MV? The era of bad boy poseurs is passing and with all new Touring bikes available you don't need a rolling sofa to go the distance in comfort.

HD should strongly consider "en vogue" segments such as scramblers and flat trackers to attract more youthful audience. BTW, their Advenure bike looks like something Bender from Futurama would ride. In a word, it's hideous...

Just Harley jumping on the adventure bike band wagon if you can call it that
Very ugly I wouldn't put it on my wishlist

[victorlaszlo]

Don't Harleys and adventure bikes appeal to the same segment? People who want to go slow, sitting straight up avoiding leaning, comfortably as in their sofas, accessory junkies and most importantly wanting to buy in to a group style to offset their otherwise unadventurous lives (may that be the look of Indiana Jones or that leather clad dude from village people)....

[Blackal]

No worse looking than a lot of the ‘adventure-trailie’ offerings of the last decade, to be honest.

Notice it has Brembo callipers which the latest R1250GS has eschued in favour of Harley’s usual “Hayes” clamps....

You’d think it might appeal to those who thought/think that the Buel Ulysses was a winner, though..........

Can’t see it threatening any of the established leaders (BMW, KTM, Triumph etc)

[adam]

Most people who have, or have had Buells, hate anything to do with the MoFuCO

But not all
