They already have that in the Electra Glide Standard, Heritage or Sport glide

 

It would seem odd, and sad, to me anyway, if Harley discontinued the Sportster line. Longest running model in HD's history. I was just 7 years old when the first Sportster was introduced. I'm a grandfather now. You know how many HD riders started on a Sportster?? Me included. Great bikes that deserve more respect, imho.

On a side note, I'm perfectly happy with my 2007 Street Glide, and don't see anything in the new lineup that would make me want to spend a ton of money to replace it. Lots of guys I ride with feel the same. <------That is a major problem for Harley Davidson, I believe.

 

They are going to build a Harley that some people will hate.

 

Of all the Harleys I've had, there was only one Sportster - great bike.

 

would the name have to be lost if the motor changed? granted it would bring on heart ache not seen since he new soft tails

 

They will probably have as soon as the models are released, that's how it has been in the previous years

 

I think the Sportster will morph into more of a KTM type bike than what it is now because it needs to regain its "Sport" cred.
It's past time for Harley to go full liquid cooled.

 

Funny if they do away with the Sportster since that is the bike used in the commercial they have been running lately.

 

Lots of speculation, but I know 1 thing for sure...Half the models will have that gawdawful,moronic looking bobbed rear fender that the Co. has been disgracing their bikes with since the '06 "WideGlide".
Oh yea; prices will be higher, too.

 

The real surprise will be the NEW reverse trike . But it will be a mid 2020 release.
