Default Is The Twin Cam High Output 103 Going To Be Collectable?

They only made them from 2014 to 2016 and then they were replaced by the M8. Could be collectable in a few decades.

In a word, no. Far too many of them produced.

Probably not in our lifetime. Like mentioned above production numbers are high.

It is a good motor in my opinion. They will probably be asking the same thing in 5 to 8 years about the M8 when they come out with the M12 Turbo.

Bought a "16" EGC. Last of the 100% air cooled touring bikes. Yeah Baby!! Doubt it will be collectable, but I like it 'cause it marks the end of a long history.

Something only gets to be classed as "collectible" if it's in original shape. Everybody who has a Rushmore motor dicks with it and removes it from its factory state.

I plan to ride the snot out of mine, until it is worn out, tired, and ready for a complete overhaul.

I never understood those fellas that went out and bought a perfectly cool muscle or sports car and let it sit in a garage for 25+ years; I like to play with my toys.

Collectables of a production run are usually the first and last year of a production run.
Not every model of a production run will be considered a collectable, a 32 Ford roadster
is more collectible than a 32 4-door sedan as a Hot Rod. In 2016 all production Twin Cam
motorcycles had High Output 103 engines, but only the Touring models are Rushmores.
Knuckleheads, Pan heads, and all earlier 1900's Harley motorcycles are collectable. The
Shovelheads and Evolutions not so much a collectable bike, but a few models are. When
was the last time you saw a stock Sportster Cafe Racer, and though there's a collectable.
