Default Been out of the Loop, Question?

Is Harley showing the new 2014 models this year at Sturgis (Rapid City) or are they waiting till later in the year?
With Indian introducing their new Chief at Sturgis, I thought they might switch back.
Anyone know for sure?

OK, they used to show every year at Sturgis. Then last year they slipped it till September I think.... With Indian making it's debut during bike week, I thought they might be going back to that process to try and keep up with the Kardashians. Thanks.

I think the introduction of the FXR4 with a 96" shovel would steal Indian's thunder......

I think you will find the dealers get to know long before the factory makes the new model year public. There will be various events around the World to do that! As for Sturgis, this year is still the 110th Anniversary and on the Sturgis Rally website the factory advertise, but make no mention of 2014 models. So I suspect the answer to your question is that they will not be there this year. That's nothing to do with Indian, or any other brand IMHO!
