Wouldn't bother me a bit if I had the bike I wanted. I didn't shed a tear when the Night Train was discontinued.

Just like the classic cars, the older models are being replaced, so what? This will make your classic more popular and worth more in the long run. While I agree the Dyna is a classic, I never really wanted one. There are other classics that have been discontinued and have either been revived as an anniversary edition to simply replaced. Get over it, guys. If you love your Dyna, then keep it. If not, don't put down the MOCO for making a change.

The fact HD refuses to build another FXR bike is beyond comprehension. A 93 FXR sells for a min of $10k - That's a 24 year old bike. I've seem them as high as $25k
Wanna appeal to the younger crowd, build another damn FXR!

I have been saying since they changed the frame on the touring bikes in 2009 and then they came out with the Rushmore in 2014 and the M8 in 2017 all on the touring line that they have been neglecting updating the softail..well I guess now I know why...I don't know if I am going to buy a new bike this year but I sure as hell am going to test ride a few

To me, it's a big "wow" seeing the new bikes. I'm excited to see the M8 in a Dyna/Softail frame. To be honest, I got tired of seeing the same old thing year after year from the MoCo. I like the new change. I think they did a good job of "hiding" the radiator. Some people say it looks too "metric", but that's what the aftermarket is for.
Look on the bright side: this move probably made your "classic" Harley worth more.

Please go out and purchase the new bikes. I need to know what needs to be improved. Thank you.
I agree, FXR popularity is through the roof right now.

What's up with all the hatred over the 2018 bikes? am I thrilled by all their choices they made? Nope. I love my Fat Boy. This bike has always been my favorite since they first started to make them. Do I like the new fat Boy? Not so much...I have never been a fan of the chopped fenders or the fat back tire..
With that being said the 2018 Heritage looks awesome!
And Just an FYI my first Harley was a Dyna Low Rider.....Just like Pontiac and Olds some things must come to an end
