I wonder why they didn't use the 2000cc v-twin.

After looking at that site, it doesn't look like they missed anything in design and engineering. Pretty nice looking bike, I'm sure they will sell a bunch of them.

The bike I didn't care for, but the passenger looked very nice.

Red is my favorite bike color, but that bike has got more body work than a Gold Wing. I'm not sure I'll ever be ready for that.

From the look of it i'd say its a cross between an electra glide and a vision. I dont think the Japs are aiming at Triumph yet. But I am wondering too what the price of a T-bird will be and just how Triumph markets it.

If I were going to ride a Harley tourglide, I'd rather it said Harley on the side of the tank. That way, I'd know I'd be able to rebuild it in 20 or 30 years instead of having to chuck it in the dumpster in 5.

I like the looks of this bike. It has a lot of great features as well. Looks like a winner to me but time will tell. I'd wait a bit on this one to hear some reviews. I do like the styling and the attempt to keep the weight down. I'm wondering what the seat height is on this bike.

Good thing they can be rebuilt, cause that Kaw. will probably go 100K miles before even needing a tune up. Probably rebuild the H.D. three times by then. 
And you may see me tonight
