It's in the November issue. I read in the Cycle World article that the most common complaint of the core customer base was "beard lift." So they went into a wind tunnel with strapped-on beards and tweaked the fairing to minimize beard lift.

Maybe I inhaled too much two-stroke fumes in the Seventies, but for the price of the Harley ($22.5K) I could buy a half dozen very enjoyable motorcycles off Craig's List. Plus, only 76 HP out of 1,700cc's? And that 818 pounds, holy crap that's pretty heavy for 76HP. None of the core complained about the price, weight or HP? Just that water-cooling might spoil the look? Am I the only one who thinks the Harley name is more important than the look?
