I sure am getting a lot of calls from dealers. Are new Sportsters moving. I think they still have a lot of 2022's sitting around. What is everybody else seeing/hearing?

 

I am also curious about their sales. I live in an area of ~100,000 population, and have not seen one Sportster S on the road. The dealer shows three 2023's in their ad on craiglist. I do like the looks of the new Fat Boy, but the price and weight are out of my range.

 

I mis-spoke, the dealer shows two Nightster 975's

 

i live in the greater philadelphia area so few million people and have not seen a sportster move at all in the last few months
i think the softail standard has taken the sportster place for a lot of new buyers as quite a few of those moved over the winter months here
my knowledgeis based off of being at the dealer every saturday and oi do mean EVERY SATURDAY as they always have something going on
at my home dealership

 

I rode a '22 Sportster S and thought it was the worst HD bike I've ever ridden. Maybe that has something to do with it.

 

Seems like the biggest complaint about Harley's is how slow they are so give them what they want. I can keep buying used until I'm in my grave there isn't a shortage.

 

The new sportsters seem completely out of stock in my area. Seen only one at a dealership, & it was being prepped for delivery.

 

See 3-4 new Sportys at every dealer here in Omaha, during their 120th Celebration events. Would've taken one for a spin, but it was mid 20's in the AM...too cold for this 'ol fart.

 

Our local dealer sold one Sportster S that I know of. They've bumped up their cold call quotas by a factor of 3 trying to move old '22 stock. Sales seem to have been slow due to cold wet weather, sure wish Spring would actually start!

 

Sales #'s will tell the story

I love all things HD, but I have a feeling the new Sportsters will not sell well at all

Should have gone VVT on the EVO and kept that baby going for another decade
