Default Low touring bikes eliminated in 2017 model year?
A friend was told by a dealer that the "low" models were being dropped from the 2017 touring lineup.

Can anyone confirm this?

Not until the dealer show from what I understand. But I did hear they are putting the 120 ST in a Harley 250 sprint for 2017

I can confirm that H-D doesn't tell their dealers what is coming until the dealer show in July. I can also confirm that some dealers will tell a person just about anything to sell them a new motorcycle.

I think this is the correct answer

Yep i was told the same thing. Fatboy Lo is gone. Basically the Fatboy S took its place. And they have the Chromed out version already in the standard Fatboy. Other bikes are gone as well.

My local dealer has been saying the V-Rod would be gone for the last three years LOL! And they knew nothing about the new Roadster until it went public. I'm convinced that don't know any more than we do until the dealer show. Everything else is just speculation.

That's more like it, ".... you'd better buy this '16 low 'cause they're dropping it next year." Think I'd pass on that dealer.

Not sure that Dealer would have anyway of knowing what HD will do in 2017. Except what colors they will offer, they did put that out a while back.

Discontinued bikes are told to the dealers early, the MOCO has been doing this for several years. New bike/changes to current bikes info is not released until the dealer meetings.
