I'm glad they brought the Wide Glide back; I think that will really pay off. Besides that I'm pretty dissappointed with the number of color choices available this year for the Deluxe. I think they had more options in previous years. But that just makes me glad I got mine when I did.

Is it me, or did all of the prices drop about $1000?!

Not disappointed at all....but I wasn't looking to trade this year. Although if I were, I would not hesitate. Since 2006, the touring line has entirely new bikes. New motor, trans, wheels, frame, seat, lights, brakes, etc. Since 06 there have been countless changes to the Softails, Dynas and Sporties too. Harley has made more changes in the last few years than I can remember. Then you have the economy and rising unemployment and the fact they are going to sell tens of thousands fewer bikes this year and will most likely shut at least one plant down completely. In all honesty, I am shocked they made any changes in 2010. Its going to be a rough year. I applaud them for what they did regardless of the sh@tty outlook.

I like the rosy outlook. All excellent points. The changes that have happened since '06 have been rather significant.

I can't believe they kept that stupid cartoon on the oil tank of the Cross Bones. If I do nothing else to mine over the winter, it's going to go. I hate it.

Definitely agree with that. IMHO looks like something out of a middle-school-aged punk-rockers notebook. Just my

I was not really disapointed. I would like to have seen a CVO night train or something along the lines of rocker-night train combined with the standard softail tank but the fat boy lo is nice and that convertible is bad ***. street glide cvo absolutely so all in all not bad lets go for mid year for a new train/raw softail model

The price on the heritage went down $1000....I am one of the idiots who bought a 2009 two weeks ago. First new bike in 10 years; last for a long long time.
