Oh yea; prices will be higher, too.
Bet some of them will have TBW as well. Just to **** you off even more.

I'm going to start with all I've heard/read, please, refrain from making jokes ("vivid black will return") as we are trying to group the information.

1- A Sportster family whole overhaul (and I've heard they're in doubt of keeping the Sportster name)
2- Dropping M-8 107 in favor of M-8 114.
3- Touring line receiving a new monoshock frame
4- No more "Ultra" touring models....it will only exist the "Limited" trim - RGU would be transitioned to RG Limited
5- Heritage Classic becoming chromed again
6- A new "standard" touring model to take the place of both EG Standard and RK (you would be able to choose the batwing or a windshield....detachable??)
7- Street family would be dropped all along

And the obvious one is the release of the 1st bike of the upcoming Electric Family with the LiveWire.

Did anyone hear something more or different??

1- A Sportster family whole overhaul (and I've heard they're in doubt of keeping the Sportster name) - No
2- Dropping M-8 107 in favor of M-8 114. - No
3- Touring line receiving a new monoshock frame - No
4- No more "Ultra" touring models....it will only exist the "Limited" trim - RGU would be transitioned to RG Limited - Dont know
5- Heritage Classic becoming chromed again - No
6- A new "standard" touring model to take the place of both EG Standard and RK (you would be able to choose the batwing or a windshield....detachable??) - No
7- Street family would be dropped all along - No

Are you just speculating on this, or have you seen something in writing?
I wonder about the safety angle - conventional trike vs Scorpion type.

Seems not many rumors this year. Wonder what that means, lol.

It means the Rumour Mill is closed for servicing.
They've got to fit new spigots to the Bovine Coprolite Generator...

Yes the RGU is being discontinued and a RG Limited is being introduced. Both of the Limited models RG or Batwing will be available for the dealer to order chrome or blacked out. Dealers started placing orders for these 30-45 days ago...

No Electra Glide classic base...it will be the Ultra Limited Electra Glide only

I heard that the Electra Glide Standard is returning but will replace the Road King standard as well..there will be two trim levels--fairing and solo seat and windshield with two-up seat..at least that's what I heard. Whether it is true is another story. But it makes a lot of sense. The Road King standard isn't a big seller.
