Yep, no more XL883 standard... Although... Word on the street is... There may be a new Nightster-like version of the 883 coming in 2009

Seems to me the moco is trying to drive up the price point on their bikes. After flooding the market with bikes over the last few years, they are now cutting back production at the plants. If they can't continue to sell the volume of units they have been pumping out, then they gotta rise the price point. I bought my 2006 883L for $6,250. They can only do that if they are selling a LOT of bikes.

My 2008 1200R is the only year that they were made with the 4.5 gallon tank.

Does that it mean it will be worth the big bucks someday.
