If I ever buy a cruiser, that'd be on the short list...right after the Rocket III.

Almost looks like some kind of rat bike in that photo. I presume that is just a prototype. But a BA with some power would be a nice ride.

Theres a thread about it...here on the board

Although, it would be nice to get another thread about the bike without the drama surrounding the pic itself. Besides, this one at least has a meaningful subject line.

We will see more eventually. I don't think that this was the only picture taken of the bike. The others may surface before the press releases.

I've really got my eye on this one...my good eye even.. hehehe

Fugly. If it looks like that my prediction is that it will be a short lived losing proposition sales wise for the factory.

The back end is wrong! Engine looks butch though - would be nice to see a street fighter, or a standard - but not another boulevard basher, boring imnsho!

it's getting a better reception here than it got in the Twins Hang Out.
I doubt that that's the production bike though. It looks too much like a test mule.
I'd say the final bike is still getting workshopped through focus groups. & I wouldn't be surprised if these "sneak peek spy shots", & the subsequent chat-room discussions they generate, are all part of that process.
So talk away.
It's one of the few times our opinions might actually make a difference.
