Default H-D discontinuing sportster...

I think of this as Ford discontinuing the mustang? I know I’m no re branding specialist but isn’t the sportster what makes Harley Harley?

Nothing that I've read so far from credible sources suggests that either of these are true-for Model year 2021.

Yes, there are bikes coming with the new engine.

Yes, the Sportster will need updating-soon.

You will see Traditional Sportsters next month, hopefully with some updates that have yet to be revealed.

Sportster in a Sport bike or Sport Tourer is a thought. Nah... what a crazy idea.

One of the pics I got when I filled out a questionnaire from HD, showed a Roadster with an EVO that appears to have VVT based on what I see on the case. All speculation at this point on what will be, and what will not be, a Sportster. Come on January!

Maybe it will morph into the Bronx.

Its one of their top sellers, so I'd say whoever you heard this from is full of BS.
