if @BogusOnewas up in Gauteng I would definitely have used him - I'm going all out with this bike so the paint has to be done properly.  As it is, I'm not 100 sure who I will be sending it to

 

Below is what it looked like when I started it

All going well it will look like this when it's done....

They apparently can not even keep up with demand for basics like the hard luggage for the Pan America.

Will be interesting to see how far they take than engine.
The Sportster S looks to have been received well, but you need to buy in the person looking for more classical cruiser looks which I understand will be what see coming soon.

Some reviewer also asked HD to please build a sports bike with that engine ..... What I thing would be interesting is if they take that to a 600/650CC engine dual purpose bike ... that would be interesting. Something to take on the Tennere or African Twin. Two bikes that also sold out really fast in the states.

I like the looks of the new sportster. But will keep my current one. I ride sedately on my Harley so don’t need all the power etc. But I would like one. 
 

think Harley made some good decisions which have given them a new lease of life. Made some bold decisions when needed. And now I can go to the coffee bar at my dealer an drink free coffees again. Win win.

My local dealer has a coffee bar. Tv playing Harley related footage. Magazines etc. I sometimes just go an chill and have a coffee or 2. Free. 
 

closed during covid but fully operational again. Considering how much I have dropped there on HD crap it’s not really free. ????

Hey Guys,

I had been kicked of this group a while ago, and since have not been able to re-load on Tapatalk...

Anyways, glad to hear all this chatter about HD, and still have loads of smiles on mine... ????

I also partake in the free coffee at my local dealer... it’s the only thing that’s free... mxm

Despite having previously posted here to drool about the Norden, I will take this opportunity to do it again!

Number 2 on my dream bike list and likely more achievable than No. 1 (Husky 450 RR).

Along with Mike Horn, it seems like longtime KTM rider, Lyndon Poskitt will be promoting the Norden 901
