Can anyone else confirm this? Are we expecting a 2020 Evo powered Sportster?

I dont know why they would quit making Sporsters, are they not seling any more? I mean they are iconic, the peanut tank is what I remembered on the street as a kid in the 70's, for the longest time,a Sporster was what a harley was supposed to be, at least to me anyway. It kind of hurts when people bash them so much. Grown men used to put around wiuth their old ladys on the back all the time, and now it like "there no good for two up..."

Back then the grown men and their lady were half the size/weight they are now., well not quite twice, but in 1960 the average American male adult weight 166 lbs and women were 140. Now the average adult male is ~200 lbs and woman is ~170. Put a 50 lb bag of dog food between that 1960's man and his significant other while riding two up on a Sportster and see how comfortable they are.
