probably a computer generated composite of who knows what to fake us all out as usual...lol

Blue Rebel · 08-22-2008, 08:00 PM

The engine shape, actually looks like a H-D from their older bikes.

ruruson1 · 08-22-2008, 08:21 PM

THe Mirrors and the Floor boards are very similar to the nomad. it also has more leg room than any harley I've seen or been on.

mrghost · 08-22-2008, 08:33 PM

Very interesting. what my eye keeps locking on to is the crashbar. look at the shape of the crashbar where it bolts to the frame. that looks like the nomad bar to me but who knows for sure?

rickyboy · 08-22-2008, 08:44 PM

A lot of good observation by the members. Cadd, you have an especially good eye, I think. I think this thing belongs to H.D.. I believe the trunk is H.D. all the way, and I also agree that the badge on the tank looks like the ones I've seen on the newer Harleys. But I'm no expert.

one think I know for sure,
it isnt mine LOL

djh · 08-22-2008, 09:02 PM

I know it's a one piece at a time bike ! Like the old Johnny Cash song. This rider works for and The bike must be a KAWA HARLEY YAMA SUKI ....!

You nailed it! I'm ready for a down payment.

I can't figure out how the one in the picture opens without interference. I'm hoping it's just clever camouflage to make it not look so much like a Nomad.

it's a Victory

mcdaddy · 08-23-2008, 07:58 AM

Looks to me, ....like you guys noted, the frame matches, the front forks/wheel/brake matches, the seat matches, even the saddle bags are close enough that the Nomad door looks real close.

The only major component that doesn't match is the engine.

Another observation ...
<blockquote> .....that engine does not look like the engine we know and love. Ours has a balance shaft ahead of the crankshaft and this engine does not. </blockquote>
What you can't see is the matching pipes on the other side of the bike because it's a V4 .. doesn't need a balance shaft .. but you need more space behind the crank, just like the photo, for the 6 speed w/reverse

What was it the "Fact or Fiction" thread said:
<blockquote> C) there will be a new Touring bike! Not a V-twin - and that's all he said! </blockquote>

unwind2 · 08-23-2008, 08:03 AM

The saddlebags look like Victory bags. Some of you more computer savy guys...can you put a pic of it beside a pic of a Victory and Nomad for comparison?

btw I have put my feet on the back boards like that before too on long trips just to change riding position.

VulcanE · 08-23-2008, 08:25 AM

The gas tank looks 1600ish to me. The fairing looks like the HD Roadglide. If it is a Johnny Cash bike (witch all my co-workers calls mine), It is one sharp ride.
I like it ;)

nomad · 08-23-2008, 10:34 AM

not a harley...i don't see the engine pushrods...just like another poster stated.

oldbiker · 08-23-2008, 12:07 PM

It's a Yamaha Royal Star Venture
