Five models? No problem. I think we all agree that providing a base model and then paint and accessories for personal customization.

1200cc Sportster Low
Super Glide
Fat Boy
V-Rod
Road King

Want a Heritage Classic? Buy our “Heritage Package” for your Fat Boy.

Want an Ultra Classic Electra Glide? Buy our “Ultra Package” for your Road King.

New Model:

I would like to see the return of the 'FXST Softail Standard', but in a an ever more stripped down, basic and bare bones machine, with a LOW price tag to match, like an MSRP of $9,999.00. This bike would have a smaller displacement Big-Twin (maybe an 88TCB or even an 80" EVO) and only available in Black.

2011 Model Line:

1. FXD Super Glide
2. FXDWG Wide Glide
3. FXST Softail Standard
4. FLSTF Softail FatBoy
5. FLHX Street Glide
6. FLHTK Electra Glide Ultra Limited

All above available in 4 color choices (except FXST, Black only)

Discontinued Models/Family's

XL's discontinued
VRSC's discontinued
CVO's discontinued
80" EVO won't pass EPA.

Not much support for VROD, or a Revolution powered bike? Hmmm.....

I don't see any reason a fuel injected 80" Evo wouldn't pass EPA just as easily or easier than a fuel injected 96" Twin Cam.

Only 5 huh?


Fine.

1. Electra Glide Standard (with options you could make it a street glide, or Ultra, or Road King.
2. Heritage Classic. Just because it's cool and has the Harley heritage.
3. Superglide. One of them. Not both.
4. Low Rider. (bring it back, NOW!)
5. Sportster. (again, with options, you could make it whichever one you want). Oh, and it needs to be a 1200. No more 883s.
I mean, c'mon. It's an icon. There will always be a Sportster, and that's as it should be.

There ya go. That's all the machines Harley needs to make. Let the owners add all that other crap.

The MoCo could make an Evo pass EPA, S+S (builders of Evo clone motors) produce an EPA compliant motor.
