I’m glade they have the separate axles, curious to try it in real life. By the time i retire i might have the coin for a lightly used one. We shall see.

Yes looks interesting. May have to look into trading my 2019 in in a couple of years to make sure all the bugs are out of the new model. My 2019 is just the way I like it, although having the new screen and independent rear axle would be nice.

And at the $39999.00 starting price it is a little pricey but all the new stuff may warrant it.

Super Shoxs on my 22 Freewheeler ride good enough for me. However turned 80 so no new Trikes for me. 😄

If money is not a problem, turning 80 is a perfect reason for a new trike!!

2026 - One starter motor now... used to both start the bike and for reverse.... wonder what could happen with that?
At least now if my reverse motor goes out I can still start the bike.

Don't like the look of the fenders, front and back. No spot lights ? Don't really care for the new lower fairings either. Should have kept the Tri-Glide too. I'm just old school.
Car like axles and bearing setup, should work pretty good, but i will give it a couple of years to work the bugs out.
History dictates HD takes about 5 years to do this.

Still waiting for somebody who drives a trike and upgraded theirs with NEXGEN or similar to see how much different it rides. They are stating an increase from 2 1/2" to 5" wheel travel but don't some after market shocks give 4"?
