Alright boys and girls.  Here are a few pictures.  Marty just called from KC (Hi Marty, damn we had fun in Cripple Creek) and asked if I'd forward these to the site for him.  Taken by a friend of his at the dealer show.  

Should've known it'd be a SEEG rider who'd come through with the first pics; they are the fastest guys here after all.

Well well, from the HD photos didn't see that yellow in the Orange and Black bikes.  Nice to see what the front of the fairing looks like too.  Don't like it at all (looks like an inverted wobbly legged crotch), but at least good to see what it looks like.  Everyone's tastes are different of course, but I like these even less now than I did before having gotten a better look at them.


Thanks for the pictures Marty.  Was great of you to pass them on.  Now this horde will really having something to talk about.

Looks like a different windshield....taller, and clear instead of smoked.  Don't particularly care for the graphics on the fairing either....does sort of look like a deformed lower torso...

Thanks for posting the pics, Don...more fodder for the frenzy...

Thanks for the pictures!!

Those wheels look like the chrome versions of the black cast aluminum standard wheels (kinda plain).

Fairing graphics look overly simple and it seems odd not to see some kind of paint design on the surface directly behind the spot lights.

I didn't wait long enough for Marty's emails.  A second one with two more images was in the trail position.  Here's the first one:

Agreed gents.  I'm not sure if they thought there achieving "bold" or "dramatic' or not.  But if that's what they were after, at least by the impact of these photos, the impression comes across to me as simplimistic and almost monochromatic.  

Seeing the bikes in person may cast them in an entirely different light of course.  But my first impression here isn't just underwhelmed; it's actually a bit negative.  Honestly can't say I care for it.  Will look forward to seeing one in person to hopefully find that real life is better.

Seems this is their approach to correcting the old issues with complex paint jobs and unreliable vendors to do the painting. So far it's rather HO-HUM, but willing to hold off on final opinion until seeing them in person in the sunlight. Hard to see any markings on the all black cyl heads..

I disagree, I think the new paint schemes look great.  They are understated with a sophisticated look especially the black and orange.  It looks like the edge of the highlight color fades to another shade.  It looks like these will look great in person.

Was just trying to figure out where I'd seen this before and Christine walked in and said "that looks like a court jester!"  Maybe we should call them CJVO.

Did anyone else notice that each of the bikes had highway pegs?  Did the 06 come with pegs?  My 04 did not but I noticed the pegs in the pics on the HD webb site also showed highway pegs, if so one additional upgrade taken care of.
