Yes, a screenshot of a click bait article from a no name website with no evidence to support the claim. Sounds legit to me.

No one had any idea Dynas and Softails were getting axed in 2018 but it happened. Even dealers were surprised.
With EVO Sportsters, the writing's been on the wall for years with fewer models offered each year. There were six models when I got my XS in 2019 and only 2 in 2022. Expect zero Evos in 2023 with another RevMax to join the Nightster. Thank you, Al Gore.

If you call Harley Davidson customer care and ask, they will confirm that the EVO Sportster will stop being produced end of this year

however as said before, it's sad that model of Harley is going away, i know a lot of folks like em!
I demo rode a couple of them years ago at a rally, did not really care for them but yes is sad to see them being discontinued. The new models do not look very appealing to the eye.

I was in my local dealership a couple weeks ago. Went in cold, just wanted look at some bikes, and the sales guy there said the same thing, that the Sportster was being discontinued.

Meaning the Sportster line as a whole? I find that hard to believe, but we'll know in about 4 months or so I suppose.

Also I think that a lot of you are forgetting one thing....Everything on the internet is true. Everything. So whether the question is "Is it staying?" or "Is it going away?", the answer is yes.
