That's a disturbingly accurate assessment. |

And couldn't they have hidden the exhaust like on a Blast? That's one of the three main features that is attractive about the bike....! Look, it goes right under, and then loops back up? What for? Eric would have never permitted this extra metal! |

Are they going to market this bike in India only? If they are trying to sell it to Americans it is a bad idea to assemble it in India. It would look better with a monoshock. |

Harley-Davidson, a once great company, has every reason to be ashamed if they designed that. We know, since Susan resoundingly assured us when HD announced the plans in India, that they would be moving absolutely no production to India. |

Well I hate to say this but I like the look of the bike too bad they are building overseas when BMW came here to save production costs (the mini) maby some bean counters should look at that model. |

Dual shocks will never cut it on a new bike, only retro's and a beginner bike should be about performance and performance safety, not retro - lol EZ |

Honda (spit) Rebel is still dual shock. Most beginners dont/wont know the difference and if you're looking to go Harley, then dual shocks look more like a Harley than mono and thats the market they are targeting. Realistically, the Rebel is more Harley oriented than a Blast and I'm sure many Rebel owners didnt even know the Blast existed. But it hasnt happened yet. Given the last days of Blast and Buell, who can say what will happen (or maybe I just cant shove my head that far up my a**). |

It will probably be a ONE CYLINDER "DRESSER" with saddle bags, windshield, safety bars(crash bars), and forward controls to fit the H-D image ... Iam Noone' |

They aren't moving production to India, it will be designed and made in India and shipped back, if I read that right. I guess Harley isn't an American Legend after all. It's just a company trying to make bucks and if they have to move to Kentucky or India, so be it. Waiting for the Erik Buell Racing Ulysses |
