too many "limited" year models to select just one. remember the "moo-cow springer"??? LOLOL ok..ok...ok... that one was more than 10 years ago.
While you might not like the 883, OR the Road Glide.... both bikes were in production for the past 10 years. They might not be the MOST popular..... but they were popular enough for MOCO to keep making/selling them.

My vote for the least popular goes to the Rocker. Aside from that ugly seat, I don't like the finned oil tank. I saw one at the dealer, I don't know it's particular model name but it had this really lousy looking finish. Like yellowed oxidised aluminum with clearcoat overtop, no chrome. Just plain ugly to me.

Make that a regular seat and a Heartland conversion kit.

The Rocker or V-rod has to have the worse numbers in sales. The only thing is the Rocker is a bike you either really like or really don't, so I am not sure if the lack in sales of the Rocker is victim of the pricing more then how people see them.
As for the 883, it's not a big V and besides the Sporty has always been successful in its line. The question is the "least popular Harley".

Dropping the Sportster would be about the stupidist thing Harley could do . It's been a good selling bike for them for nearly 60 years and is the entry level bike into Harley riding . The V-Rod although not very popular has it's place I think . It's a powerfull water cooled bike for those who want that type of bike but want the Harley brand . I would vote the Rocker as the least popular bike . I know that my dealer here couldn't sell them and ended up using the 2 they had as prizes to be won in raffles last year .

Apparently the FXSTC is one of the least popular, it has been discontinued for the second time. I am glad I bought the next to last 2010 at the dealers while there was still one left. I guess if a bike does not sell well withen a couple of years they bring in another totaly new model that ya cant get parts for or customize for another two years.
