I doubt 2021 releases will be missed. But if it happens, there’s lots of unsold 20’s inventory and low mileage used bikes available.

Seems to be some narrow-minded folks talking about MY 2021 being "no big deal" and "just different colors". MY 2021 brings the Pan America and Bronx...both pretty big deals.

I'm sure the production equipment is already setup for the two new models and we'll see them released this fall.

Yea but it actually started a few years before that, I recall it mainly being in the dirt bike lines...not sure when it ended.

Naa.. They've been talking about these things for over 2 years now. No excitement left. Dealers by me still have new '18s. They are going to have 4 years of new models on the floor soon...

Hopefully, no matter what HD does, you will still be able to get black paint on bikes.

More than 2 years I'd say. Already look dated. Strange launch strategy.

What's your source? I find it credulous that they would delay six months. All they need to do is cut the Breakout, Deluxe, FXDR, and add a few new colors. Piece of cake!
