    Was really hoping for a reverse assist and electronic suspension. Also, hope these guys are more reliable. A friend of mine had a Heritage that broke down 5 times within a year. Each time needed a tow. All that said, the price is still insane. BMW R1250 RT and K1600 have similar if not better performance with a whole lot more tech. Not even going to mention Ducati sport bikes with their blind spot detectors. Really don't understand why Harley can't fit more tech on these flagship bikes. I really really love Harley touring bike but it is just so hard to justify that price with the amount of stuff you get.

Which was the case of two of the BMW than I owned (included a R1100RT and an engine which had a lot of recalls from BMW). About Ducati, I don't know since when you know them, but as an old biker I can ensure you that Ducati is far from the most reliable manufacturer of the market, even if they made some improvement this last decade.
      But I agree, H-D is not and never was the more tech brand of the market, and it's certainly not the reason why we love them.

    Not changing that out of date frame is inexcusable. this leaves us with the same rotten geometry we have always had, the same poor rear shock options, and the excessive weight. They obviously went maximum low effort with these bikes. The VVT was always expected to meet future emissions, the new fairing was supposedly in development before the Revolution Max motored bikes and was suspended to focus on them, and finally we will end up with the only tour line without adjustable wind screens, remote locking (ultra and specials), and no mono shock. Inverted forks and radial brakes are parts bin choices for more competent brands and the upside forks have been around for a long time on other Harley models.
    with regards to the rear shock, the CVO does not count, what matters is the bike the leave everyone else with on the base and special models. Going to be real interesting how much CVO content is lost to reach a Special and base model of each line. Buffeting could have been nearly eliminated with an adjustable wind screens, BMW has had it since 96.... All this and the bags are smaller!!!!
    I am a Harley owner having waited years for this refresh and my disappointment should be obvious; going to keep the FXLRST for a long time
    BMW does far more on their K1600GT and R1250RT for far less than Harley has ever done or tried because Harley knows their buyers are exploitable.

    I don't care what you do to a bike, ain't worth that. Harley-davidson is just flat out stupid when it comes to pricing motorcycles, accessories and clothing.
    For the most part, the Honda Goldwing is is still a better bike, with much better reliability and over $10000 less.
    At that price wouldn't be surprised to see Indian producing a better bike and a more popular option.

      As for Ohlins on older models, I installed ohlins piggy back shocks on my 2016 roadster xl1200cx and yes they metamorphosed the ride and handling. It’s like a different bike now, superbly damped. They have the same travel then OEM though, so even with the same limited travel the result is outstanding.
      Not having tried the new CVO, I can only imagine Showa has designed much better shocks, as stock rear suspension is a real disappointing aspect on current touring models
