Will see as time passes how well they handle metal fatigue in the desert southwest summers.

Heat is metal fatigues friend.

I 100% agree they should have switched the names. The only issue I have with these bikes is the lack of reliability info on the new platform. Seems like there might be some issues to be worked out there. It reality doesn't matter to me as my sportster will out live me if it doesn't get wrecked and I am not going to buy a second one.
