DISCONTINUING OF MODELS IN 2008

RE: DISCONTINUING OF MODELS IN 2008
Harley makes 5 basic bikes
Dyna
Softail
V-Rod
Sporster
& The Baggers
The differences between the bikes on each of the 5 lines is sometimes very subtle. When I study the bikes on the showroom floor I look for the variations between let’s say the Dyna line and they are not always drastic.
If this is true and I do not know that it is. I’d say it is due to sales. You do not kill a best seller.
Perhaps someone could look up how much of each model MoCo sold. They are a publicly traded company and so this information is public.
Peace. –N.

I can't see them discontinuing the Softail Standard. It's one of their best sellers and has been for a long time. And the Wide Glide? Doubt it. The Deuce, I've heard rumours about for a while, so maybe. Don't know about the others.

I cant believe they would get rid of 2 of their best sellers, the Wide Glide And Softail Standard. The others on the list are just variations of other top selling bikes.
