Good question. As a die hard hd guy, I can tell you for me it's a keeper. As a matter of fact,weI have 2.

Honda screwed up in my opinion. It is not a good Mc at 19999.00 it is a great bike at 16750. I think what you may be seeing is guys that bit the bullet at full msrp, and had regrets that for 4k more, they could get a full wing, with all the bells and whistles. If you can pick up a 2013 for 16k or so, then it is a great bike, and so what if you have to drop 2k in cruise and lights.
