Is Kansas City Plant Closed
Hello everybody
Wondering if we have any forum members who live near Kansas City?
I know Harley announced they would be shutting down the plant in summer of 19'
Well here we are! Is 2019 the last year for the Sportster as well know it?
I'm hoping to purchase the last true Sportster! Air cooled EVO!

I know you can't tour the plant, I'm wondering if motorcycles are still being produced there.
If so, when is the production supposed to stop/build no more bikes?

Certainly anything is possible, but the Sportster line is a chance for HD to sell one person two motorcycles in the span of two years.

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..."
