I'd be surprised if it does well. They are introducing it on the back end of this 'chopper' fad.

It's getting good reviews from what I read. Solid engine and typical Honda. Complaints seem to be too much plastic covers. It just looks typical to me. And the way I see it the chopper craze is all but over.

That's what I read in my free issue of Motorcyclist... Again, what can you expect for $13,000? I'd imagine there will be a ton of aftermarket stuff for it, if it becomes popular.

The problem with "choppers" is people don't buy them for functionality or reliability or even a nice ride. They buy them for image and this defeats the purpose of that because it doesn't have two words on the side of the bike. You can make the most reliable piece of machinery with all the best options , cheap enough for anyone to purchase, and look like the megan fox of motorcycles, but the d-bags that buy the most of this type of bike would never buy it because it didn't say Harley Davidson on the side.
People who want a functional reliable motorcycle for actually riding usually don't buy choppers.
