I Think it's pretty cool
I'm kind of impartial on it. I like that they're trying something new, which is better, but now their "entry level" bike is $15,000, unless you want one with a full frame and 30-40 year old engine tech. BMW, which is a premium brand didn't even try to make their entry level bikes that expensive.

Will it save Harley? Who knows. At least they dropped the price of the Live Wire, but you're still talking over $20,000 for a niche bike with limited range. The Zero bikes do the same for thousands less.

Harley has made a bike with no true market. I get that this completes with the Scout but a base Scout is 9k, and fully optioned is around 12k. This almost slots in comparison wise between the FTR and Scout.

They also have just taken the price of their outgoing "entry" level Sportster and jacked it up by about 5k. I'd love to be a fly on the wall for some of these product meetings lol.

Did a little ride out to Sheridan for a Bloody Mary this morning before it got hot.

Also, my new tires arrived after being out of stock for the last few months. I'm replacing the Pirelli Scorpion STR Rally tires with Dunlop Mutant Crossovers. Not as offroad looking as the Scorpions, and more of a 90/10 tire that should be quieter, better on pavement, last a bit longer (my rear is nearly done at 5300 miles), and still have some mild dirt/gravel ability. I got them through Cycle Gear so I could take advantage of their $25 per tire mounting fee (Schaumburg location only around here, so far).
