So with all the hysteria over the new Rocker, Anniversary bikes and all the changes for '08 I didn't even notice that the Deuce gotaxed for '08. Kind of surprising to me. I always liked the Deuce personally. I knew that the Softail Springer, and Softail Standard were eliminated and also the Dyna Wideglide...is there anything else I missed?

 

FXDWG's still in the line-up...

 

Oh yeah...I see that now. Gee...why only the anniversary color? That's kind of lame.

 

w.g. is anniversary only. may be gone all together next year.

 

So with Harleys drive to offer a new and exciting motorcycle lineup, they have to drop certain models.

Thats how they will think uo something new for new year, The duece will be a new addition for the 09 lineup.
Does this look familiar? Well hush your mouth its the brand new Duece!
Innovative yes?

 

Crafty lil' devils...those MOCO people, don't you think?

 

They needed the tanks for the Rocker.

 

I really liked the Duece, test drove one when I was looking at trading.

It didn't have that ultimately cool look like the Softail Custom and it didn't have that big bad look of the fatboy - but it rode great and had clean sleek lines with well placed chrome.

In the end I opted for the SG because I wanted long distance travel.

WereI looking for an all around bike for local riding that I could keep until I'm too old to ride though - that may have been the one for me..

To me, the Deuce had an understated elegance that wasn't novelty or radical..just sleek, clean HD with the right engine and a lot of chrome...I also like the streamline seat..

Too bad they're discontinuing, but I'm saving up over time so maybe on day I can buy one used in a few years..

 

The Duece will be back. If you guys will recall, the Softail Custom was a hot item a few years back, then it was "Discontinued", only to be back in 08. Its all part of the MoCo's grand scheme.

 

Models come and models go.....................and then they come back again..........[sm=smiley20.gif]
