ReconRat Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I keep waiting for some one to post up. Nobody doing it...Newest Harley offering, a stripped down FXS 1584cc BlacklineStill weighs 682.5 pounds wet. Dang... But it's got a 6-speed and lots of torque. And a re-designed tank. And for some reason, there is a lot of excitment about a black enameled headlight bucket. Mixed feelings about shocks that are horizontal under the suspension. 2011 Harley-Davidson FXS Blacklinehttp://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2011models/2011-Harley-Davidson-FXSBlacklined.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'd rock that, but $16k? Ouch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) I think they will sell for closer to $10k.Actually, I'd rather have the Forty-Eight 48But the power is weak, the tank is small, and it won't lean very far. 568 pounds wet.2011 Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight 48http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2011models/2011-Harley-Davidson-FortyEight48c.jpg Edited January 25, 2011 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Does it come with tassles? Gotta have tassles.That way, you can tell whether or not that slow piece of shit is moving or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Looks like all the rest of them to me, but I "just don't get it man". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblosser Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 The "Dark Custom" lineup - sounds fancier, er, tougher/cooler/meaner than The "Paint it Black" lineup. With H-D, it seems (with the exception of the XR1200) to be more about image than usability. Having said that, there will be one in my garage, probably sooner rather than later. Nightster, maybe - me likey.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXwPLovHekw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motociclista Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 All subjective, of course, but I don't like the looks of that one at all, especially the tank.And since when is a 700-pound bike "pared to the bone." That gives new meaning to the saying "she's big-boned."I used to have a Sportster, and that was kind of fun. But today, even Sportsters are well over 500 pounds. Electra Glides are extremely comfortable and great for lazy two-up touring, but slow as hell. Everything in between in the H-D lineup is just overpriced, overweight, butt jewelry (IMO, natch).

RFM Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Butt jewelry... I like that term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 ...With H-D, it seems (with the exception of the XR1200) to be more about image than usability...exactly that. The word seems to be that the XR1200 is shunned in the Harley crowd. So it does seem to be more about the image, and not the Harley name at all.

LINK Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 It looks similar to the Night Train I owned, with a smaller rear tire.Typical Harley Davidson design in my opinion, nothing to get excited about... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 If you like HDs, what's not to like. It looks just like the others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit12 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 If I was to get a new Harley it would be an XR1200X in orange. I'm not a Harley fan but I do like the looks of that model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 This model is JUST a bit heavier, but handles identically as any HD does...Uploaded with ImageShack.us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Not sure if it does anything for me. I could see myself on a big old Road King or maybe a Fat Bob if I was to get a cruiser again. Although for that money, a Victory Hammer or Triumph would be options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
