Local dealership says they have been inundated with enquiries and already sold their first allocation.

Demo expected end of May

I’m not surprised, there will be a lot of very angry people who’ve spent stupid amounts of money

Why "very angry" ?


I know a A LOT have bought ALL THE FARKELS already. but can't see that as something to be very angry about, maybe I'm to mellow
or do you mean people that have paid in full for a bike that isn't even available yet and now facing a bit of a wait to get the keys in their hands?

Oddly thats the timeline for the US dealers too! I guess HD have done their homework and figured out where demand might be, where to focus and maybe a worldwide launch and availability is the way to do this. Adventure bikes sell well in Europe, not so much in the US, so makes sense. Has HD got their act together for this one? Looking like it.

Just need to go and ride one - though not sure I will enjoy fighting through the seas of bearded 70 year olds clad in Easy Rider leather and tassels appeals at the moment... ;-)

Yet as far as I understand it they are for sale already in Asia.
How does that work?

Not according to today's info update

They've added extra detail to the website now and definitely confirmed the following:

150bhp
242kg fully fueled

Beats the BMW in both weight and power.
