Default 2017 Sport Glide ?

From a June 2016 article;

" the name of this bike (FXRT Sport Glide) was spotted in both U.S. and European trademark application papers, so we're most likely getting a new Harley soon "

...... be interesting to see if this gets unveiled @ the dealer meeting in 4 weeks

If they revive it I bet its in name only. I doubt they'll build another FXR framed bike. If I remember correctly it was killed off in favor of the FXD frames because it was expensive to build the FXR frame.

The -new- Sport Glide might be the first bike with the upcoming "common core" frame that will be shared by both the Dynas and the touring models…

The MoCo will sell a chit load of these!

Just like no one liked the Road Glide years ago, now they are everywhere.

And yeah, I want one!

Am I the only one that thought the Sport Glide was the Electra Gide Sport? It's what we always called it. I'll admit I never knew about the FX framed version.
