I'm not terribly optimistic. Harley has tried many times to make something other than their current product and none of their offerings have been successful. At best, I think they will have a niche following.
Their engine is not suited to a sport bike, you would have thought they had learned that lesson with Buell. When I look at their sport bike offering, the three thoughts that come to mind are fugly, heavy and a high center of gravity.
The second bike is peculiar, in the same vein as some of BMW's worst offerings. No thanks.
Harley is not alone, though, there are any number of other offerings from just about every manufacturer that are butt ugly and pointless. I think they need to revisit there roots to find out what a motorcycle is, it seems like they are watching too many CG Hollywood movies to get their frame of reference.
