I actually don't hate it, and I love the look of the rear tire in the shot with it leaning on the guys legs.

I kinda like it, despite my overall displeasure for choppers

Jens has made some really cool bikes over the years... However I am not a fan of this one just because I don't like hard tail choppers especially ones with Buell parts on it.

"Race engineered hardtail, now if that is not an oxymoron!!!!"
I agree 100%!
i could warm up to it, if it didn't have such a low seat, and perhaps had a real rear fender that would keep the rain water off my back.
I do own a Hardley, and I do ride it to more places than the bar, and in inclimate weather. I prefer a bike that works in all types of weather, and can keep me comfortable.
