Default Some 2020 changes, base model ultra gone

Sorry if this has already been posted, hadn't seen it yet. Stopped by the dealer to see the 2020 color charts and sales manager shared a few updates.

The base model ultra is gone for 2020. The RG ultra will be a limited with gloss black inner and heated grips. Both limited models (Shark and batwing) will be available blacked out, it sounded like there would be only a few of these available to each dealer but not positive.

Yep, probably limited to the number the dealer can sell. HD sold about 10% less motorcycles in the US compared to the year before.

Black hole street glide specials are expected to be the biggest seller.
