Jerry, he meant all together.  Not just this summer.

couldn't find a 114 in my area but did start up a 107 was shocked that there was no clunk goin into gears
don't know what id do if I didn't hear the rattling of my 110 when riding

Can't wait for the first post saying the new ones are too quiet and have no soul, transmission is too smooth and I miss the clunk that let me know I was in gear, etc. lol

Oh gawd I hope not, but you know it'll happen.  The things are just machines.  In HD's case old old machines that had stretched the capabilities of a Panhead about as far as it could go.

Mother Harley makes itself an easy target so often.  I really do hope they haven't screwed this up too.  It would be nice to see them finally hit a home run with something.  This thing at least has a patina of modernity that's a new thing to see from them.

How do you know you are in gear if you can't hear the clunk???

I want a motorcycle, not a turbine or electric "motor"cycle.

If I wanted smooth power, with no clunks, vibration, rattles or sound, i would have bought a ...ing Gold wing.
(Or a metric cruiser for a 1/3 of the money)

Tough feces.  The bumping, bucking, shaking (and thereby noise inducing), emissions spewing, loud exhaust, other-driver-and-neighborhood-annoying, unreliable, antiquated crap is illegal.  Even more for you than for us here in the US with the Euro standards deploying over the next two years.  Get over it.  Harley is the only engine manufacturer except for lawn mower engines that hasn't effectively modernized.  Saying you want to ride the second cousin to a Cub Cadet because it reminds us of our youth is stupid.

I want a reliable, good (not annoying--good) sounding platform with a good visual appeal that is effective at what it does, runs well and does its job at or better than contemporary standards while meeting those goals.  Harley has (yet) really proven to be able to do that.  So, maybe, now they've made a step away from your Cub Cadet.

Because I took off

Not at all, that comes standard on a HD, its perfectly legal in the EU.
I dont buy a bike, HD or Honda for the brand, not interested.

The Honda does not deliver for me, but it might for you.
We are all different.

Yes we are.  But, for good or for ill, the regulatory environment we all have to live within does not have that variation.

That's not going to be much of a ride home if you're buying one in Mich.  You should be looking out west!

Don't get too happy with yourself thinking Harley's will soon be quiet. Harley's are all about nostalgia and that's a good thing. Anyone thinking or wishing otherwise is probably better off riding a different brand. The old versions were also relatively quiet out of the crate. The bikes that seem to bother you are the one's modified by their owners.

You're really misguided if you think US Harley owners aren't already breaking down their '17 touring bikes as I write this post. You can count on faster, more powerful  and MUCH LOUDER pipes coming to a neighborhood near you just as soon as the aftermarket performance builders break these bikes down and rebuild them to the tastes of their owners. Count on it.
