Another Sportster revealed - not the S
Pan to about 12:40 on and go slow mode in the YouTube menu under Settings. What's there is a more conventional bike with dual rear shocks, 2:1 lower exhaust, mini headlight fairing, mid-controls, and larger seat and fenders. See PDF below for a preview.

12:48-12:50 for those trying to find it. Not sure if they were not just showing an older one for inspiration
however it might be interesting if they retain the dual shock for a lower price point to go up against the Scout
Possibly it was the Cafe racer teased last year in Cycle World

This winter a fellow rider sent me a screen grab that's the source of the PDF in #1. He took a HD survey last Fall that asked about preferred styles for a bike. It appears that's the quick shot in the video. Makes sense to offer a top line "S" now and then with the 2022's sell some ar lower price point. Hope they succeed.

Never mind I just read above where it came from.. interesting.
These new Sportsters are definitely performance cruisers that's for sure.. Its going to be interesting to see how the Harely world receives them and what the demand is.
This is what the Sportster was always ment to be.

Demand and sales, I wouldn't even attempt a guess.
I'm not anti-change/diversification like many here, but the "S" doesn't interest me.
The bars and forward controls isn't something I'd want on a performance cruiser.
That's MUCH more to my liking.
In particular the one with some shinny sheeit 'n pipes

That is a great replacement for the Sportster. I believe that H-D is having a hard time competing with the Indian Scout (which I think is a great looking bike). A lot of older H-D owners probably won't like it but you the MoCo has to change with the times. Plenty of old iron out there if you want one.
