it has that certain something about it
got to agree , it looks to japanese,doesnt have the same chunkiness ,and raw metal of the earlier ones
Just part of the trend towards the homogenised custom bike partly driven by legislation, emission controls etc. That's why the older harleys will increase in value and desirability I suspect. Still a good looking bike though.
Those wheels are 'orrible.
rest looks ok though

Road king . would of looked better with an exhaust on the other side as well .
Shame those panniers probably wont hold much . I think the black looks cool
I agree however the wheels definately looks shite
The wheels do look shite and front is an 18''...!,but it does have the 103 inch motor
It looks like a kawasaki cruiser with shite wheels.

I saw this in MCN I think a couple of weeks ago, they had it in silver and it looked bloody horrible, the older bikes are definately better looking, those wheels, what were they thinking???
I like it in the red, but i have to agree about the wheels, the front one looks very odd in particular

I'm sure HD will several better looking options you can buy.

Harley 'styling' lost its way sometime around the Millenium...
WHAAAT?
The Crossbones may be a 'parts bin' special, bit it's a huge leap of faith in this age. Shame they don't do springer forked models any longer due to ABS brake requirements on new machines.
In the Sportster range they do the '48', which is dead cool.
'Kings and 'Glides are timeless classics, and what about the twin headlight fatbob?
Evo engines & carbs may be a slower tick-over, but they can't cut the mustard when it comes to the convenience of modern 'fill-up-and-go' thrash trips. I'd still have one in my garage, though!
Almost all Harleys are 'parts bin' specials...
They're just variations on a few well worn themes
Luckily for HD, people haven't got bored yet, and probably never will
