Default Forty Eight Special and Iron 1200

Little birdie told me we are going to have two new Sportster models for 2018. Look for a formal press release soon.

Well at least he put up a reference about the 2 models in your title. You just kind of put it there with nothing to back it up

that article was out a day before he posted that and there's already been talk of the 48x, bronx, and panamerican. we'll see. i guess he can't say because he's on the inside somewhere... someone in france will drop the news early like they always do.

Wasn't a formal press release, but it responded to your curiosity...what's your point of argument? Isn't that what you seek?

I think he was responding cuz cvaria linked the article and stated it was the 48x and the Bronx, which the article had nothing to do with. Asking if he read the article was valid question.

The 48X is likely a separate project that will come much farther down the road, as the EPA filings make no mention of it. A change from spelling out “Forty-Eight” to the numeral “48” would suggest a more substantial change than just replacing chromed parts with black.
