These new red touring and blue custom paints are nothing short of spectacular.

Gorgeous bike. I like almost everything about it except for the peashooter exhaust.  I know it has to do with back pressure and noise requirements but I think the last 3-4" could be flared internally to at least exit about the same diameter of the header pipe giving a more robust exhaust appearance.  Just a thought.

I totally agree.  The exhaust orifices "look" wimpy.  Even black powder coat on the end tips would be better.

It's a beauty,  but it ain't no lane splitter.  ;D   Are the saddlebags detachable?   Nice crashbars on them.

I was thinking the same thing.  A red one with detachable bags and screen.  :+1

The California in white with the black pinstripes is already beautiful enough that I'm tempted to buy one even though I'm not a cruiser person at all. And in red... they're probably going to sell a lot of those.
