There's already spy photos out on that on a couple of posts in the Touring forum I believe. And you will get a better price on a '14.....if there are any left by October! Good luck and thanks for your service!

I can't remember when I last touched the screen, other than to clean it.

When I first got the bike in the garage, I used the touch screen to learn what it does, now I only use the little joysticks on the bars.

I wouldn't buy a 2014 just to save a few bucks if that's possible. I would buy the color I liked best whether that's a 14' or a 15'. I wouldn't think there will be many changes to the new ones.

There are always changes...since 2015's are out next month, I would wait...plus there are a lot of 2014's left at the dealers (with a few recalls)...if you don't like what you see in the 2015's, there will be plenty of 2014's left to choose and deal on.

By the way, heard there will be a CVO Street Glide for 2015 (if that is of some interest to you) as well as the 2015's having some sort of tire pressure monitoring system.

But, what if the ’15 SGS gets water. The EPA keeps pushing for better emissions from Harley motorcycles. That could drive up the demand for an original air cooled V-Twin SGS. Right, wrong or indifferent, there are Harley owners that don’t want a water cooled bike. Most likely a mute point, where would they put the water pump, the radiators on a Street Glide? Kind of sounds doubtful, but what if?

Get the bike that "speaks" to you; whether that is a 14 or 15. If you like a 14, you could most likely get a better deal on it. Get what you like and don't look back! Semper Fi bro!!

Like several others have stated, not likely to be any changes to the SG's or SGS's from the '14's to the '15's. Five years from now the difference in resale will be somewhere around $500. I'll bet you can get a '14 for way more than $500 less than a '15!! They are dealing on the '14's right now to make room for '15's.

Looks like Daytona Blue pearl is going away in 15. It was more than a custom color, the Daytona Blue had unique grafic's. If you like this paint you will need to buy a 14.
