...remove the "eyebrow," and then install a set of ape-hangers and a king/queen saddle on a Blast, then go out for a beer.

taller shocks, forks, mx bars and controls, knobbies, and a retro style to the Mx-250 and it would sell at least one copy ; )

There's speculation that this is, well these are, it.

Lot's of features/cues remind me of the V-Rod; 60° V-Twin, the way the pipes come off the heads, etc.

We'll see...

If it's anything like the rest of the Harleys, a 500cc might be able to hang with the rest of the motorcycle manufacture's 250cc bikes!

You know the Harley tradition, make your motorcycles big, loud, and slow with lots of chrome. lol

500cc? Gonna have to lighten things up a bunch. The 883 is somewhere between adequate and sufficient for the near 600 lbs it's pushing around...

BLEAH!

An electric Harley?

They're going to have to fit it with imbalance shafts!

I have always liked the way the HD upper crust speaks as if it never had Buell in it's program, even prior to 2009.

HD's coming out with a 500.....WHAT??? And in their own research they have to go back to that little Italian thing and the military off roader to find one that they produced?

Grumpy..... At least put square tires on it!

An electric Harley would also have to come with a standard baseball card attached to the fork and swingarm, resting on the wheel spokes, of course...

May require purchase of additional chrome spoke kit.

Hybrid, I don't know what the bike in question is, but it looks an awful lot like an updated version of a Honda VT500C Shadow. Headpipe arrangement is the same, the clutch "bulge" in the primary cover's in the same location, you can see a radiator and cooling fan in the same locations between the front downtubes, even the shock position and angle is the same.

Spy shot:


Honda VT500C Shadow:


I'm very skeptical that's an HD.

I know I've said it before, but I had one of those (same color even, though my side covers were chrome) and I rode the absolute piss out of it. All I ever had to do was put tires on it and change the clutch cable. It was the most reliable bike I've ever owned. Most of my miles were freeway (60 miles to work) so I never even had to change the brakes. I loved that bike. Got 55 MPG too.
