Looks to me like primarily new colors with minimal changes and higher price tags. Love Harley but what's different between a 2014 vivid black Street Bob and a 2016 other than another 350 bucks? Sportsters now over 11 grand? Kind of disappointing as of now. Maybe as I look into more it will be better?

It's a fact. Harley would change nothing but the paint year to year unless they are being hit where it counts. ...the financial bottom line. Thank god for Indian making such an attractive alternative! I still am on the fence about their roadmaster. Beautiful bike with some cvo features. It's just that all my stuff is harley! Jackets. Boots.. ****!

So the Sporties have a much needed suspension upgrade front and rear, the Softails get TBW as an option and they all get the "really-close-to-a255" cam, the Slim and Fatboy "S" models are 110's with TBW and Electronic Cruise, the Heritage's "saggy bag" syndrome has been addressed, the Road Glide Ultra is back and it's water-cooled, and a few other minor things, right?

The 110 Fatboy S is cool, but it's a bit of a letdown to not have the 120ST available in any of the CVOs.

I didn't look at all the colors online, but the hard candy custom colors with flames on the touring bikes looks nice. They could have just shown those.

Yes, the periscope thing was a huge flop.
