Seems like everyone on here is dumping their current ride for a new 2014?

Mine was a 2004 Flstf and it was time, but I do see a lot of 09-13's trading in for a 14.

Sticking with my 11 Street Glide. It's paid off and I've got it set up just right for long or short trips. I'm sure in a few years I'll be looking but the 14's don't blow my skirt up. The bags lids are cool but besides that I can't see dumping all the coin when I have a perfectly good 103" to ride.

I can understand the pre 09's to a 14 but 09 and on man that is a big hit no matter how you cut it!

Had a '09 Ultra w/71K....funny noises from the tranny and stater. Wife said I could trade. Found '13 Road Glide with 3K......you mentioned '14s? Maybe a '16 a few years.

Harley shipped 247,625 bikes last year, not even enough to replace all the bikes guys on this forum have (assuming all the members have at least one). And there's plenty of us not interested in trading our EVO's or Shovels for a twinky, no matter how many gadgets they come with. Not that the new ones aren't great bikes, just not what we want. Does seem like Harley is having a good beginning with the 14's; I'm glad to hear it, don't want the Moco to go away any time soon.
