They make about 7 bikes with discs, and the LHT is the only one that isn't unicrown.
Oh, there's plenty to disagree about; it's BikeForums! For one, you said the lugged crown fork "gives the bike more of an English touring bike look," and I nearly laughed out loud. I sell a lot of LHT's, and believe me, an LHT resembling an English touring bike has never entered my mind. Maybe I should use that as a sales pitch: "if you squint really hard, you might mistake this for an old, classic, English touring bike. Just look at that lugged crown fork, it takes us back to yesteryear......"

And you still won't use the "reply with quote" button to converse!!!
