So I went to the dealer the other day, looking to get rid of the wifes scout. She is very short so limited on what she can ride. They had a superlow with only 58 miles on it. She was interested but it had forwards which was listed on the price she cannot reach them so we asked if they would put back the mids. Well of course they wanted to charge for them but in the price was the forwards so the bike became expensive. We can get a new one a couple grand cheaper so lets order a new one. The salesman called her back and said the superlow is discontinued. Does anyone know if this is true? And if so does this mean a new sportster? In England I see a 1200 superlow and it appears to have a monoshock so why don't we have this model? By the way he also said 2-3 other sportsters discontinued. The year just started.

 

Still listed on the website. Shows an 883 not 1200.

 

Better have her sit on one.

Super Low 883

• SEAT HEIGHT, LADEN 7 25.5 in.
• SEAT HEIGHT, UNLADEN 27.8 in.

Scout
Seat Height, 25.8 in (656 mm) Doesn't say laden or not.

A Softail Slim sits as low as the SuperLow.

• SEAT HEIGHT, LADEN 25.5 in.
• SEAT HEIGHT, UNLADEN 26 in.

 

Interesting on the seat height of the softail slim, just would have to see how she handles width and weight.

 

 

The dealer says they cannot order one now, and the 48 was one of the other ones.

 

According to a random internet podcast I heard back in November, it's true. The following Sportsters are being pulled, according to them...

Superlow 883
1200 Custom
48 Special

 

where did you see this? i went to the english website, and the super low that they show definitely has twin shocks.

 

You are correct. I watched a youtube vid and they have preload adjusters with ***** on the bike he only showed adjusting one so I assumed it was mono.

 

Thanks you just opened up a whole new option. The street bob has further back controls, a front lowering kit, and short reach bars. I never would have even looked at softtails for her.
