Default 2025 rumors!

With the new year arriving soon the speculation for the next model year is in full swing. What did you guys hear about possible new models or updates?

Apparently the Softails get updated this year with speculation about a chrome Low Rider S and ST as well as CVO Low Rider ST and a commemorative Fat Boy (35 years) coming. Also Softails are rumored to get the water-cooled 117s from the touring line.

looking forward to everybody’s thoughts and guesses!

Nice topic. Also heard about 2-in-1 for the Low Rider and analog instruments instead of the digital ones.

A 35th Anniversary FatBoy may be worth looking at. My 2020 30th anniversary has 53k + miles on it. I know, I know, it's just getten broken in.

I shudder to think of the price tag the local Mothership will hang on it. But, maybe they'll negotiate .

I just wrote something related in another thread. After a 7-year run since 2018, I am hoping for a re-design of the Heritage. Perhaps cooler saddlebags and cosmetic accessories that are backwards compatible with the current gen. HAHA, yeah it's quite funny when I read it back to myself LOL

So I’ve been at my dealership a few days ago and he already has a sheet with the new colors. No details though - just the available models and colors.

I just got a super quick look but three things I remember:
1. the Low Rider ST comes definitely in a chrome version with two different colors.
2. Fat Boy comes as an anniversary model
3. There was a Pan America ST on the list however that will turn out.
