At 9,999 they are clearing out inventory, sadly the end of the evolution sporty is here. The 110 specials came out last year for the same reason, to get rid of the 110 parts.

Naw, I believe the Sportster will be around for a long time.

Personally, I agree I think the Sportster will still be around, but it will not have an Evolution motor powering it. My .02 worth says it will have an enlarged Street Revolution X motor.

Harley knows most 'hardcore' Harley owners don't buy Sportsters, and the inevitable change from air cooled motors has to start somewhere. They'll still be girly bikes, just with radiators...

Again, just my opinion.

Thumbs up

Ordered a Vivid Black Iron 1200 here in the UK. Just waiting now...the Atlantic Ocean suddenly seems very wide ! I am praying the stock mufflers are US spec (slash turn out), but pretty sure they will be straight. Think i'll be leaving it pretty much stock except perhaps a FP3 in case I change my mind !

I think HD are using parts up ready for a new Sporty next year or 2020, but this one is cool IMO. And the Cafe seat is straight from the P and A catalogue...all good.

Enjoy your new ride, into Town.....and beyond !
