Will the Road Glide make it another year?
I was wondering how the 2010 Road Glide Custom is selling.
Last year just about everyone thought the Road Glide was dead.
Then Harley surprised us by keeping it in the line.
I'm still hoping for a Road Glide Ultra but I don't think MOCO will do it if the Custom doesn't sell.

I'd bet a nice dinner the Roadie isn't going anywhere. I'm seeing and reading a lot more interest in them since the 2010 arrived. Granted, the '09 is a functionally a better bike, but they made it visually more youthful and despite the "optional" cruise control it's doing well. I have to admit, the colored saddlebag latches, SG rear, and graphics are very nice. Yep, I belive she's going to stay for a while longer.

Per se, the FLTR is dead. They released an FLTRX. At the winter dealer meeting you will most likely see the FLTRU released.

as long as the moco makes money they will keep making it. when they stop making money on it it will be finished. it's all about making $$$$$$.

Bagga,
Why do you think companys go into business, to lose money? You obviously are not self-employed or you would understand the full concept of making a profit. A company that does not make profits year after year is doomed to failure.
You might want to review Business 101.

FLTRU? Almost sounds like FxxxU. That bike will get hung with its own personal name.
