There will no longer be a Dyna line! The biggest surprise is no new Wide Glide hybrid. It looks like the closest offering will be the Softail Low Rider.

Ooooh, look - more 1950s motorcycles with 1980s engine management tacked on being sold through nostalgia!

H-D really needs to modernize.

I hate every change they made to the Softail Heritage Classic. The previous bike was dialed in to perfection. Now they have ruined the look of it. I know that is intensely personal, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but to my eye they have flat ruined the Softail Heritage Classic.

Such a shame. Another cure in search of a disease.

Interesting, no more Dyna?! Lots of options in the Softail lineup though.

I guess the upside of this is, by bringing the M-8 to Softail and collapsing the Dyna line into it, H-D has expanded the M-8 into most of it's lineup. (all but Sportsters and Street, right?)

With the different steering head rake angles I wonder, is H-D playing to the big front wheel crowd? Or is it actually a handling thing? Because I think the big front wheel look has about run it's course and is probably on the downhill run from popularity.

Personally, in a cruiser I lean towards the bobber look. The Fat-Bob would be my pick, but I'd probably strip that ugly exhaust off within the first week. Looks like a sport bike wanna-be. If you measure your fun in mph, get a sport bike. If the 45 deg V-twin rumble stirs your soul, get a H-D. ;-) Full disclosure, due to a truly massive amount of OT earlier this year (anyone notice I was scarce around here?) I am quite recently the proud owner of a Sportster. In fact, I've got to go climb on it and rumble off to work for another long day...

Every time I’m in a bike dealership I sit on one of the large bikes and remind myself how much I enjoy having a lightweight Cruiser. Who wants to hop on the Harley to run down to the grocery store 2 miles down the road?

I thoroughly enjoy every minute I spend on my Suzuki S40 Boulevard / Savage.

I ride a 94’ Nostalgia Cow Glide. Its been reliable for the most part for >30K miles. I ride just enough to keep the stader charged.
