WHAT DO YOU THINK?

DCFIREMANN:
Just wondering everyone elses impression? New SE paint for a soft tail model that doesn't do it for me, also I have never been a fan of the springer since it was introduced in 1988. I think it was good it was finally included in the SE lineup though. I think we still need to see all of the new models in person.

Black and blue is not bad.  Copper and red is ok.  HATE the gold and tangerine!

justgary:
I'd have to see it in person, the pics just don't do it for me but I have never been a springer fan.  I am told this is the last year for the springer and this is why they decided to make a SE Springer.  Kind of a nice send off if it is true.

Fired00d:
Not a big fan of Springer front ends. [smiley=nixweiss.gif] Somewhere I remember hearing or reading that front bearings in this setup have a tendency to wear out sooner due to the fact that the axle is not inline w/the forks. [smiley=confused5.gif] Also had heard they handle differently then telescopic forks also, but can't testify to that since I've never ridden one.

I'm not a springer person either, but a springer doesn't conjure up pictures of performance in my head...
