I had a 14 limited which was a nice ride. No complaints at all. Now have a 16 glide and can't wait to ride it. I am a huge 103 fan and not so much a 110. I am very content with the bike I own and with all the changes everyone dreams about Harley doing to a new year model comes with a huge price increase. Is that really what you want? Because you know all those goodies will not be free.
On a side note. I heard from a guy I know who heard it from his friends dad who got his info from there great uncle that the 110 engine will be a thing of the past and will be discontinued and you can't take that to the bank.

If HD does make major changes I am ok with that. I like change. Also never been to worried about trying new things. Unlikely I will trade in August. I just did for a 2016 RU August 28th. My normal riding will be cut back a bit this and next year by about 40%.
Working on line things up to retire again and that means more time at work than I would like.
However if HD really did something wild that was new , not just some bolt on changes yea, I would be ok with a trade.
Did get 4000 miles on the 2016 right away. Very happy with it. The infocenter works fine for me. Yes,
a wireless head set would be a good idea but not the end of the world. To darn much tech stuff takes the fun out of riding sometimes.

For a split second there I thought you had a rose in your air cleaner.

Kinda hope they will continue to upgrade the Infotainment and really wish they would (will?) move the CB PTT to the left side. Rode for awhile yesterday and realize how much I really love this bike, just does everything so good. Being in my 8th decade of life this will probably be my last big Tourer, I'll probably eventually have to step down to a SGS or even a Road King but I'll continue to love this bike until I can't handle the bulk anymore.

Some of us are still riding Evo's and older. I might consider trading my Evo in if they ever produce something I like better than what I already have. (notice how words were carefully chosen for political correctness haha)
