Answer 1

Nah, there are already too many garage queen Harleys sitting in garages waiting for the next toy run.

Answer 2

Upset? No. Disappointed? No.

I have no feelings on the matter.

Answer 3

They sold 'em here back in 1984

Answer 4

I'm in tears.Oh wait! I wasn't going to buy one anyways so it's ok with me.

Answer 5

that looks like a sweet ride.

Answer 6

you wish you had one !

Answer 7

I think its a marketing ploy.  After it debuts in Europe, people in the US will be clamoring for it.  Eventually, it will be available here or people will have them shipped from overseas if they want it bad enough.

So, no, I am not at all upset.

Answer 8

I am upset that the Kawasaki Versys isn't sold in California.

If I were a Halrey person, which I'm not, I wouldn't be upset, 'cause hey, it's not a real Halrey unless it has the 1340cc EVO v-twin engine.

Answer 9

No, because I'm not in the market for a Sportster.  

Answer 10

AHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAH

1200cc's??????? it makes 73 torque and 93 horse! Thats pathetic! It's more like a Harley SV650.

That right there is my favorite Harley though, looks quite manner.

Answer 11

I'm not at all upset, they will be sold in America eventually.

Answer 12

I'll admit, that was the first thing HD has built in decades that drew my attention and yes I was P.O'ed that I couldn't get one NOW.  So I bought a Dyna Fat Bob a few weeks ago.  So sorry I spent the money but luckily sold it the other day without losing anything.  New Ducati in the driveway right now and HD only wishes they could build something like this!!!

Answer 13

its deja vue all over again remember the xlcr in the 70's & xr1000 in the early 80's? they were ok bikes but they were the answer to a question no one asked.

too heavy to be a sport bike & no place to tie a tent & sleeping bag for a trip like a cruiser.

it makes sense to release it in europe where they dont travel long distances as a kind of GT bike & see what kind of accessorys are developed for them, thats what they should of done with the xr1000.

they'll be available here if theres any demand for them.

its seems a little odd for a bike to be built in kansas city (or where ever)& sold over seas but not here. think I'll start digging in the dumpsters at the local harley plant & see what I can find.
