the new wide glide kinda looks like they took a bunch of left overs and made a superglide with a wide glide front end and fat bob exhuast,i like the back fender though a lot better than the bobtail i have.i think i like my 07 better.but thats just my opinion. ride!

We don't care that you don't like the new looks. We don't like the old looks which is why we did not buy the old 05 or 07 models. Harley style department recognized that Frisco style choppers are hot now and gave us drag bars on dogbone risers with a chopped fender, side mounted liscence plate, and unpadded sissy bar with 180 rear tire. You're just jealous that the new one looks more bada$$ than the old one. You are stuck with the 72 month financing which you are still upside down on and can't trade in your 2005/2007 for the new one. We hear this type of sour grapes whining every year Harley updates it's models. Stfu!

Harley dropped the ball on this one!!! I would not trade my 2005 FXDWGI even for it!!! What a shame to turn a beautiful bike into this!!!

Best looking Wide glide yet! got to see it in person.

Love it! Never liked the Wide Glide till now. Thumbs up HD!

@dyna007 -I never liked the bobtail. I don't really like it on the Softails, but it was REALLY out of place on the Wide Gilde.

I'm not crazy about black on the engine (I'm a chrome man), but this bike's lines are *perfect*. The flames on the black version is what a Wide Glide should be. I must see this bike in person.

Looks cheap. Is cheap.
The Wide Glide used to top the Dyna models but now it's near the bottome of the list. Glad I got in while the gettin' was good. When the black out fad dies off, the real Wide Glides will still hold their value while the new models will not. Harley will recognize this and go back to the real deal.

the old wide glide is for you old people with the big stupid seat and you guys probably have windshields, also those are for cars, be a biker and not a poser. you probably want a radio too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I picked my 2010 wide glide up three weeks ago. I love the bike. I added vance and hines side shot exhaust with a screaming eagle intake. The bike handles super, sounds great, vibrates like the old school models. The black with the red flames looks old school. I wish more people hated the bike so I wouldn't have had to pay so much. Harley did a great job on this bike. I think more people like the bike than dislike it. I got my bike at Ray Price in Raleigh, NC. They treated me good and I will continue to give them my business.

Will be exciting to see if the sales will pick up in 2010... in Europe at least, the motorbike sale in 2009 was abysmal... hope the crisis will look favourably on Harley too :-)

Hello,

Just came back from the dealer and say the 2010 Wide Glide for the first time in the flesh. In my opinion it simply does not look like a Wide Glide, rather a confused Fat Bob of sorts with a raked out front end. The rear grab rail is permanently attatched and looks very CHEAP, it just does not belong and cannot even be removed. I did like the black paint and flames paint, everything else just does not flow. I would rather purchase an 07' or 08' any day of the week, they just flow better and look more stylish. I'm sure the 2010 Wide Glide works great, but a bike should make you smile(Especially a Harley) everytime the garage door opens. Why is there no leather on the center of the tank? In it's place is a cheap looking fixture of sorts, gone are the classic Wide Glide touches that made it a classy, stylish, and cool ride. I know times are changing but I feel they could have done much better with the 2010 Wide Glide. Actually the best thing they did for the old Wide Glide resale value was to introduce the new Wide Glide, just my two cents. I love all bikes, taste is subjective and one should ride what they want......But I have to be honest.

Cheers,

Francesco

In a few years THIS will be the Classic. It's great styling and performs wonderfully. Good job HD!

The old Wide Glide looks way better than the new one. Not even close really.
They should have named it something else for sure.
See how much the price dipped? That's the end result of making a cheap bike by cutting corners. Chrome is expensive, black paint isn't. Set em' up side by side and it becomes very apparent that the new one doesn't hold a candle to the old one.
Took all the class right out of the Wide Glide name. I agree with a previous post.... this will increase the resale value of the old Wide Glide without a doubt.
