Would you buy a 15 now or wait for the 16's?

i doubt that we will see a twin cooled 110 or 120 just yet. maybe some day!

The dealer closest to me has actually sold all the trikes they had. I went yesterday to get a USB charging kit for the tourpak. It was the first time the saleman left me alone and worked other customers.


I am hoping we will see some new improvements in the 16's. I do like the new Cosmic blue color. Right now I am holding off on any more upgrades until I see the new models.


I wish we had a dealer with so many trikes in stock. Local dealers only seem to have 1 or 2 at any time.

that's what i found most dealers had only one or two and none of them had a black one except the dealer i bought from and one was a demo.

Sooner or later they'll have to do it. Victory and Indian are handing them their *** in the power and torque dept.

i think you will see all the bikes go water cooled in a few years and then start seeing the 110 and the 120 start becoming standard on the cvo bikes first

I'm an impulse buyer. When I see what I want, I get it. You can wait for a '16, BUT something new MIGHT come out is '17 so you may want to wait. HOLD ON, there is a rumor that in '21 they could introduce airless tires, wheelie bars, and a left handed auto-gizmo so you should wait.

I bought my first Harley in 1970. Hate to think of all the fun I've had over the years IF I kept waiting for the newest, latest, greatest, thingie to come out. I bought an '03 Dyna. 88 inch 5 speed. A year later they introduced the 96 cid with a 6 speed. Still loved my Dyna, and I didn't give a damn if others had 8 more cubic inches and an extra speed. Think of the fun you may miss waiting.....

I am not going to miss much fun cause I am still riding. But why trade in now on the current model if on the chance there is a significant improvement on the newer models? I bought used once when I buy again I would like it to be the current model not a year old one.
Currently my dealer doesn't have any trikes in stock now so this is all moot.

it seems everything i've ever bought the very next year they come out with a new and improve version of what ever it is. i just bought a 2015, i'll worry about the 16's when they get here. harley needs to start showing the bikes sooner. everything a big secret with them.

Yes I think at Sturgis is the perfect venue to show the new year models like Indian and Victory does.


Is this your first trike? If it is I am sure you will be pretty happy to have it and be riding. Good Luck with it and have fun.
