Dog33,
I agree that bike in the spy shot was ugly.
Somehow I doubt it will end up like that.
Let's not forget manufacturers heavily disguise their upcoming bikes during the testing phase.

Brummie,
I have a little more faith in their design abilities (assuming it's not like the bike in the spy shot).
They haven't done too badly design-wise lately.
Given the displacement and alleged high number of accessories/customising products, it looks like they are gearing up to directly compete with HD (thus underwriting a huge investment/risk).
I suspect the HD crowd should not be too quick to pee in their pants with laughter just yet as they may be walking funny for other reasons afterwards.
