Not true. All base models of touring and softail bikes are still 107 M8s. The main difference is that you can buy a version of each touring bike that has an upgrade to a 114 engine. In the softails its the "S" versions and in the Touring bikes its the "Specials and Limiteds"

I've had my bike for two months now. I wish I'd have waited. $1k more would have been worth it for the 114 and updated infotainment. Doesn't look like much else has changed.

Sorry Heatwave, you're correct. The website says "The unforgettable power of the Milwaukee-Eight 114 engine now comes standard in SELECT 2019 Touring and Trike models". All of the Specials come with the 114 standard now, the CVO says standard with the 117. So the non-special models will still be standard with the 107.

Just a shame how disappointing the CVOs are in my opinion with very minor improvements, dull paint schemes/colors and ANOTHER $1000 increase. From 2017 to 2019 the CVO Limited price is up almost $3K with little to show for it.

No apologies needed. Fast moving info during a launch. Its good to see the offerring of the 114 in all non-CVO touring and softail models in addition to the 107s.

If I could have waited 2 months, Id get the new RGS in that burnt orange color. Im not big on flash but I love the orange on the blacked out bike.
