    Bloody heck. I quite liked it. Sort of an Xl1200 on steroids.

    Should of put a 114 in the Sportglide, call it an S or whatever, it would sell.

    I don't get why they do that.
    Why put a 107 in one new model and 114 in another?.
    Why not just put the 114 in all of em?.

    Dunno, maybe they have a shed full of 107's they want out the door, seems dumb to me.

    The low rider s also comes in another colour other than black. Silver, which looks sweet. I think it’s a good price too for $28000

    The Breakout is a rip off. Why is it $6250 more than the Low rider S?  They sell a heck of a lot of those Breakouts too.  

    Yep, the silver looks good. Steeper rake than standard lowrider and tweeked  rear shock. Could be real good. 
    Breakouts are like arseholes......

    my 2017 Low Rider S was $26,250

    Co-incidentally, I  sold it a fortnight ago for pretty much that (sunk a bit of coin into it with mods)

    The new one has me half tempted!

    That is pretty expensive alright.

    Yes, and I see the nice little shed in backyard to store the trike.

    Well well seems Harley are finally coming out of their technology coma. New tech is going to be radar adaptive cruise control and a new fully watercooled motor for the tourers as well as lean angle sensitive cornering ABS among a host of new bits.

    Give it a couple of years for the tech to bed in and it may be worth the coin to upgrade.

    I suppose it’s a good thing.  Only so long you can keep producing air cooled 45 degree vtwins.  And when I think about it, their bikes havent looked that different to the untrained eye for the last 30 years. 
    I welcome the change :)  Not like there’s any shortage of classic Harleys. We ain’t gonna run out of them

    remember when they were 8.K FC. I wanted one, but Mrs at the time did not.
    Built the tower at Mt.Read, Rosebery. in maybe, 94.
    I like the S as well, but sadly can only afford to look..

    Yep - useful to remember when you vote local or at the state/federal level. This will all happen if we let a minority convince others living in a cave is the way to go.
    Back to the bikes, I'm more hopeful for HD in the future.

    They wonder why they are not selling as many bikes, they should look at the Ugly shit they are producing and trouble with the M8 engines.

    Hopefully I haven't made a mistake but I have put a deposit on a new 2020 lowrider S (black of course) it will also have a black S&S 2-1 exhaust and forward controls fitted on arrival (which is due in early November) I hope the M-8 problems are sorted for the 2020 models, I will be a long wait(like a kid waiting on xmas)
