I really like some of the new colors and even though I'm not a RG rider, I'm glad to see the RGU and I think it's sharp.


It's good to see the 110" on non CVO's. Guessing it will be standard motor in 2 years. I just traded my 96" on a 103" so the 120" will probably be the standard by the time I trade again.


I still want a power adjustable windscreen on the touring models. That was the one thing I LOVED about the Indian I rode last year. (anyone from H-D listening?)

Unimpressed. I was looking at grabbing a Breakout, but the colors are boring (silver or charcoal would be my choices if I had to get a '16) and the tank design is... not good.

Once again the color issue is at the top of my list. If they would reverse the two tone color of the pearl/teal, the Heritage would be tempting for me.

Cruise control is nice to see on the softails.

103 High output is a bonus, but nothing Im worried about as I don't compare if mine is bigger.

Less studs on the Heritage looks kinda naked, but for some Im sure better.

$1,000 dollars less than last year off list, makes me wonder what corner has been cut. I do not think the studs are it.
I hope they did not find yet another way to eliminate another part from the motor.

Let's see if the Softail guys join the many Rushmore guys hanging around the dealer service waiting lounge while they have countless recalls fixed.

Bottom line, my 2013 would take a huge hit in depreciation, so trading would be dumb even though its paid for. Nobody would want an older Heritage with a small engine and no cruise. I'll keep her.

Doesn't do a thing for me. I'll wait for a 120ST in the RG or Dyna.

New bikes are out? I must have missed the news, I'll go back to my nap now.
Is HD discontinuing the Street? That would be news.

I was gonna wait for the 16's to see the new paint schemes to buy a street glide.

Glad I didn't!

Black is definitely offered. It's the last color listed. It's on the 2nd row of colored tanks.
