In a rather ironic twist (to me, anyway) I am getting flashbacks to when Honda first started to dip it's toe in the cruiser market, obviously trying to closely follow whatever it is that makes Harleys appealing.
Those first tentative stabs at "cruiser" had some definite oddball looking things going on, slowly refined over time. Now it feels like Harley is making the exact same fledgling steps, trying to reverse copy what the first Japanese copies of their own cruisers looked like. It's very amusing to contemplate the big circle.
Harley does NOT know how to make a good looking radiator, (yet) I will say that. And great Scott! Those fork gaiters are just horrifying, lol
I don't think the "when are you going to get a real bike" thing is true. What do you think most Harley guys started on, cb750, shadow700, seca's? I think it's a great move

That's one sweet ride silverhound. I plan on having several mid-life crises, and I can see a big cube cruiser being one of them. Don't know if it will end up being a Harley or not, but if I had to call it this early in the game, I'd lean toward a VMAX.
Cycleworld did a dyno comparison of the new Street 750 with several bikes including the NC700x.

Interesting note, although not directly compared in this article, the NC700x and the 883 torque/HP numbers are almost on top of each other.
