I'd say it's the Fat Bob man the new spaceship.

A salesman at my dealership said it was between the Heritage, the Slim and the Breakout. Low Riders are not selling well he said. But this is South Fl and your mileage may vary.

My dealer told me that for the most part, the new Softails have been doing really well at their place except for the Street Bob, which was his personal favorite among the ‘18’s.

He also said that the Deluxe was hard to grade due to the fact that they had only received two of them so far (one of which I took home).

Just curious but wouldn't it be better to wait until closer to the end of the year to ask this question? Might have a better idea then about sales instead of so soon in the year, just an idea.

"Australia it is the Breakaway."

That's something I have trouble with during evacuation of a hard stool.
