My local dealer still has 16 2023 leftover touring bikes still on the floor.

To go along with the 344 2024 bikes they show as still in inventory.

And 7 2025 models on the website showing as in stock.

And 7 LiveWire S2's in stock.

And that doesn't count the 170 used bikes they have either.

True. Many dealers have the 24's marked down 1 to 3K depending on the dealer. So could be a big savings to buy a new 24.

That does make a sense. However it could hurt them in the long run when all the 24's are gone and many are not willing to pay 30K for a Street Glide or Road Glide.

true but when all the 24s are gone and people don’t want to spend 30k they have the 2k they marked them up now to put as incentive for dealer and clients and still end up where they ended up with the 24s. I also think that they reason that interest rates will fall in 25 which eats up some of the added price for those that finance.

Our local dealership sent out an invite for a reveal event with the new 2025 models.

The a couple of days later we get the following:

Re: PLEASE READ! The Harley Davidson 2025 New Model Reveal event Jan 23rd has BEEN CANCELLED

Good day Everyone,
Just a quick follow-up to yesterday's email cancellation for the "New Model Reveal" that was scheduled (and now cancelled) for January 23rd. I have received several inquiries asking if it is to be rescheduled? I have been told that Harley Davidson has cancelled the video presentation, not the dealership, Harley had moved forward with publishing most of the information on their website well ahead of the time frame originally scheduled (January 23) in an effort to get the public the information sooner rather than later and possibly help folks make decisions on new 2025 models or even purchases on existing 2024 models.

I see nothing about the 23rd launch on the H-D website anymore. It was supposed to be 6pm CST. I also do not see any of the new models on the H-D website.

It is surprising they are dropping the video launch.

I gotta say the new designed bags and fairing do nothing for me and the tail lights on the Streetglide are ugly. but i am an old school person. Ugly !
I like shiney paint and lots of chrome.
