Default 2012

For what it's worth...

Stopped by the dealer the other day. Asked the sales manager when the 2012's would be in. He said "officially" later this summer, but that he had four already... would I like to see them? Took me around back and showed me the bikes -- four Street Glides. He confirmed that all 2012 touring bikes come standard with the 103 (maybe that's old news) and also said that the ECM programming and changed, causing the bikes to run even leaner. Other than the 103, they looked identical to 2011.

Local dealer here has several on the floor as of mid last week. Same thing with a couple of different colors. They still don't know what new bikes will come out.

My local dealer showed me the same thing. Took me to the shop where they were putting together a 2012 SG. I didn't see any difference. I said I'd be interested in a new one if they come out with a blue. He showed me color chart with the 2012 colors. All the FLT bikes will be available in a dark blue metalic.
