Got flyer in the mail today from local dealer stating the 2020 Sportsters and Softails are in to check out at the upcoming weekend's events.

Anybody seen a new '20 Heritage yet? Did not find anything with pics or Specs doing a Search just now.

So those models will cost $1500 more next year? Doesn’t make a lot of sense when sales are suffering from high prices.

On some models ABS is standard on the 114s. A 107 with ABS is $800.00 more. So, the 114 option is a no brainier from that stand point. Some models dont have that where ABS is already standard. My guess is most buyers opted for the 114 and price was not the sole consideration? We will see. Seems they should make ABS standard across the lines?

I could see the 107 in the base models and the 114 in the "Specials" across the line.

So if some of the 2020's are already out and can be shown because there are no changes but paint... can I then safely assume there are changes to the 2020 Limiteds? Looking forward to seeing what those might be.

Harley has to be the only company left on the planet that doesn't offer ABS standard.

Harley offers ABS but it's not standard.
ABS is mandatory on bikes sold in the EU. America is not in the EU, so why should ABS be mandatory on an American made bike?
I like ABS but I like that I can buy a Harley Davidson without it. Freedom.
