To me it looks like something someone assembled after visiting a car boot sale with less that £200 
I was looking at these, i think theyre a good looking bike, best of both worlds sort of bike.
Shame they dont do it in some decent colours though...

I thought I liked it when I saw the pictures but it seems the cognoscenti () don't agree.
I've seen one in the flesh now and I have to say I was unimpressed by the finish and the panniers look like toys. In black the wheels look OK but they look odd on the red as well
IMHO would look better in Denim Black.....
Hasn't there been a thread about this bike already..?
Anyway, it looks crap IMHO... why not just buy a Honda in the first place..?
Oh, I forgot, it says 'Harley Davidson' on the tank, that means it *must* be better
HD's are coming out of the same far east factories as the rest of the worlds bikes nowdays.
If you want a good one (or a good Triumph etc etc) stick to (roughly) pre millennium.

All makes sense to me.
I wouldn't buy one, not at 14k but i still like the look of them.

IMO it'd look better with an old tarpaulin over it

Yes, if you'd clicked on the word 'pictures' in my post you'd have been taken straight to it. FWIW though it is still on the first page in the hoGS section so you don't even need the search facility
You didn't like the bike then either

Oh, like most Harleys then.......
I didn't know that
They're still 'Made in the USA' (they'd have to be) but a lot of components are far eastern made... Just like most bikes of course.

It was early in the morning when I posted so I was half asleep and missed your thread.
Anyway, I took one out today and it is a nice bike but it didn't really do it for me. Which is a shit because there isn't a new bike on the market to seperate me from my dosh at the moment. Maybe I will stick with old and try a bid on a Z900 at the Bonhams auction next month.

American V magazine are raving about it. What didn't you like?
I did say it was a very nice bike but I was disappointed with the vibration and buffeting I got above 50mph (I didn't try the bike with the screen off) and the engine is just too weedy for nearly 1700cc. I expected loads of torque but the bike just felt out of breath. Nice bike but not £14k nice.
