I have some reservations at least until I ride 1

IMO HD is putting TOO much junk on the new models. Electrically thinking these systems will pose a lot of new challenges for diagnostics and NOT very cheap to fix when warranty runs out

Does the riding public really want or need all of this new technology that thinks for the rider and takes away rider control of the machine?

All of this leads me to believe it is simply the next stage before fully automated computerized self riding motorcycles are standard offerings and sadly, not too far off dealership showroom floors.

Definately not for me, and since most of these new features come standard on most models starting in 2020, the MOCO has lost a future customer.

My exact thoughts too Jack. Great 2017 owners think alike.
