I love the new Fatboy. Its the only bike that looks great with Modern styling. The rest not so much. Except for the Fatbob it looks good too with modern styling. I have my eye on a new 2018 Fatboy in my near future!

I like the new touring bikes, but I am not ready to get rid of my 16 yet. I will wait at least a couple more years and see what changes they make to the frame and suspension.

All I can say is this is nothing extreme for any manufacturer. Yes the below is a Harley!!! Everything changes, I for one want a better Harley, and I am happy to say my newest is the best.

Hope springs eternal, but no 2018 V-Rod, no 2018 happy.

Thus explaining HD's declining sales.

I like some of the new changes and colors. The Fat Bob looks great, so do the Heritage Deluxe and the Street Bob. The Twisted Cherry, black tempest and black earth fade are my favs.
What I can't get past is the jack hike in prices $1100 on most models but what's totally F@#ked is black out a bike like the Streetglide Special and CVO and increase the price by $4000 & $5000. That's CDN $$.
A 2017 Streetglide Special vivid black started @ $28,499 and the 2018 lists for $32,499. 2017 CVO $48,699, 2018 $53,699. You're talking $60,000 for a freaking motorcycle, they must be out of their minds.

Probably not buying anything this year because I'm about to spend the equivalent of a down-payment plus the first few months loan installments on dental work, but, if I were looking to upgrade from my '08 Sportster, that Softail Heritage Classic would be exactly what I would be looking for.

When I do eventually upgrade, I want something that'll have a bit longer highway range than my Sporty, carry a little more, and still look good. Tough call between the Softail Heritage Classic and a Road King, but I think the Softail wins for being a hundred pounds lighter.
