Hmm..couldn't disagree more.
Harley Davidson kills its Bronx Streetfighter

The only thing Honda does make is most soul-less boring appliance motors, the Yamaha triple is more fun than anything in Hondas lineup

"Great in the city" what city do you live in
Latest in street styling among pubescent males with zero knowledge of motorcycles possibly, and the pegs with those bars looks just a little awkward, That's an understatement
you'd need to be built like an orang-utan to ride it. It has less ground clearance then the height of the rubber on the tires and it doesn't even have a rider on it yet :| It was designed by morons and assembled with very expensive parts that somebody already had kicking around in their Harley dream design play room, or we are just looking at a 10 inch long plastic model that has been photoshopped onto a boring background.... doesn't look like they planned on giving it much front brake either, so it must be very light weight model or very low powered.

Dude, it was a concept model, made to look a little extreme. No matter how impractical you think it is, people would buy it. Anyway, it's dead along with lots of other Harley models next year. Harley Davidson is headed in a completely new direction:

Best efficiency. Best product support. Best dealer network. I would trust a Honda engine before any other brand on this planet.

What a pile of Hogley hype, so glad I dumped my HOG stock at twice current value.
Because "Harley" riders didn't want that engine. They want a classic Harley engine.

I thought they were putting it in the breakout or the fxdr?
Heard fxdr is getting the chopping block for next year.

Yamaha's cp2 700 twin is widely regarded as the most reliable motorcycle engine currently.
Flame on.

That is one of my favorites.
It's been my observation that when it comes to the metric crowd brand loyalty is much less of a thing. They buy the bike that they visually like that performs and/or does the job they want it to do. The name on the tank comes second. Reliability is good across the board (with few exceptions) so it's not like one brand vs another is a deciding factor on being able to ride it vs wrench on it most of the time.
Maybe I've been seeing different Harleys then you have, but they have just as many gizmos as anyone on many of their models...
Quick, someone message Paul, Roadghost's account has been hacked!

Nope it's just you trying to bash or make a point against harley's as usual. Half of those are typical motorycle controls with a few extras for nav and radio. WOW so many gizmos as anyone, nice try...Maybe I've been seeing different Harleys then you have, but they have just as many gizmos as anyone on many of their models...
Unlike this, I am sure this is a great ride, but way to many buttons, is one of those buttons the foot recliner or back massager...
That is bleeping horrendous. Which designer thought that lots of buttons should be the same size and shape and way below the handlebars? Boo.
That's a ~10 year old (or more) Goldwing. You're comparing apples to oranges.
Here's a 2020 Goldwing layout.
And a 2020 Harley CVO.
I think if you actually sat on a modern Harley you'd be a little flaberghasted how many "gizmos" they have. Just because yours is oldschool doesn't mean that's the way they all still are, especially the farkle-laden models like the CVO. By the way, that screen on the Harley is touchscreen. The Goldwing uses a joystick layout instead on the left grip so you don't need to take your hands off the handebars.
Sheesh. Chill out. Thou doth protesteth too much.
