Default So What Does Harley Do Next For 2018?

All speculation I know, but what would be the logical next introduction?

a) New Touring lineup built on an all new chassis to go with the M8 motors.

b) M8 motors for existing Dynas.

c) All new Dyna incorporating M8 motor.

d) M8 fully balanced motors for existing Softail

e) All new Softail utilizing M8 motor.

f) Other? (specify)

I believe we will see more trike models rolled out over the next couple of years. They'll probably start with a Heritage style bike, or maybe a Dyna. Hell maybe even some Sportster based models.

I don't know what they will do but I for one would love to see some decent colors without the stupid graphics inserted as we seen that last few years.

Don't forget to make more unitized parts and lower production costs to increase profit.
