One can only hope. The new Challenger snowmobile Indian has a real suspension, more torque, water cooled, standard riding electronics, adjustable windshield, etc. Maybe the motor company will play some ketchup?

or not, maybe they won't. But if that is what you want why not go buy one? They are on the market as we post. Readily available, I saw several last week at the local Indian dealer. The red Limited model is pretty and Polaris is steadily improving their packaging of the bikes. No more cheesy switches like they ordered from JC Whitney and the saddlebag hinges no longer look like a 1st year blacksmith made them. Pretty good warranty too, I think. Almost as good as a Kia! And who can doubt Indian's history? Best trademark money can buy with the help of big dollar lawyers.

Check the H-D web site. The Heritage is a touring model now, and a much better one than the other's IMHO as I have owned several of the various Touring models.

It's not a touring bike.
Everyone know's touring bikes come with facebook apps, surround sound xm, gps, lumbar support and air conditioning.

Didn't say I wanted a Polaris. Just want HD to get into the 21st century. Reading comprehension much?

I also noticed that and thought it was kind of weird since the Heritage is not on a touring frame but rather the new Softail frame. What is also strange is that the new website doesn't mention Sportster or Softail as distinct platforms but rather breaks down motorcycles into Street, Cruiser, and Touring! wonder what that's all about? Seems like major changes are coming to the MoCo in 2021 or maybe even before that.

I think the new motorcycle "families" are intended to be easier to understand by new customers who know little of H-D history or model design features.

Comparing it to the Road King, it seems more like a Road King than the Road King itself is now!
