Default New Softail Model!

Hi Guys!

We here in Europe are discussing and guessing what the new softail model will be

All we know so far is in this picture:

Normaly you guys from US have harley-related informations much earlier than we have - so does anyone know about the new bikes? Probably some pictures from a motorcycle show?

Take care!

According to the translation:

This winter ends hot. With two brand new HARLEY-DAVIDSON ® models as absolute highlights. And you are among the first who learn that. Start the engines, the countdown for the big revelation.
Rest assured that when HARLEY-DAVIDSON ® dropping the case. From 13 February, visit an official HARLEY-DAVIDSON ® dealer or marvel at the new pearls from the 16th to February 2012 at the SWISS-MOTO.

???

New FatBoy?

Yeah it says that you can go to your dealer on the 13th of February and check them out live - therefore there must be some pictures around somewhere Or eat least soon.

the other looks more like a sportser iron in a softail

The one on the left is definitely a Softail, because there's no external shocks, which eliminates it from being a Dyna.. it does look like a new FatBoy though..the one on the right, to me, looks like a crossbones with a non-springer front end, and a more peanut gastank

Was just looking at the event calendar on H-D.com and see that on Feb 9th there is a "New Model Launch Party" at the Museum in Milwaukee. The reading does says "models". Guess we find out then. Here's that info. Apparently the event is open to the public.

My brother is a Staff Engineer at H-D corporate and I can report that he's mentioned one Softail platform getting completely redesigned and one completely new Softail platform. This could be those bikes. I'm sorry I can't provide any more info than that, but something is something.

Personally, I'm still on the fence about changing out the wheels but the dealer also mentioned that something may be announced online in a couple of weeks as well. Meaning more than just new models may be announced.
