They will have to get some Honda, Yami, and Zuk 250 cruisers.

Got my MC endorsement on a 250 Yamaha. Learned street riding on a 70s 250 honda which was my girlfriend's dad's bike. He only used it to run errands on. Both were surprisingly fun and easy to use.

New models will be sold with special quick detach additional wheels and tires. You can have a unicycle, traditional 2 wheel bike, a trike, 4 wheeler, 5 wheeled monstrosity or greater.

It is harleys homage to the under representation of the LGBTQ community in bike form.

You heard it here folks.

Why would you buy a standard low rider when the S is only a little more, and is way more bike for the money.

Hahaha, are you serious??? It's nearly 4k more for no two-up seat, pegs, chrome, or paint options. Just rattle can black everything and suddenly it's "way more bike"?? Oh, right upside down forks make all the difference.

I was wondering the same thing. Sad to see the Streets go, but no big deal. The only reason I would have considered one would be as a starter for my kid.

But it will be sad to see the bikes formally known as Sportsters go (i.e., the 1200s). I can’t imagine that the motor company can’t sell enough of those to turn a profit. I guess they could, but some of the Sportsters buyers will probably end up getting a Softtail instead.

There will be 2021 Sportsters, and they will look like the 2020 Sportsters. Somewhere there's a link to a HD Media kit that clearly showed a 2021 XL1200 and it looked like a 2020 of the same model. I don't remember the suffix or the model name specifically.

Don't git yer panties in a bunch.
