    Hi all,

    so im thinking of getting a new bike. What are the chances next years softails  will come out with 110's  as standard accross the range?

    I would hate to fork out for a new bike & in a couple of months they bring out the 110

    Does anyone have any inside info? Should i risk it or wait till sep/nov when harley release the new models

    Ive asked the dealer but they say they dont know

    The new models will be released in the States - mid year.

    And, I think that the industry will be shown at a bike show somewhere over there, even a bit sooner.

    Not long now; be patient grasshopper.

    Harley and the dealers will never tell customers that the 110 or 120 engines will be out in the next year or any other future time period. If they did, nobody would buy their current bikes! Mongrel on this forum bought the last of the 96ci fatboys brand new after inquiring about the next year's model fatboy. Just after getting his 96ci fatboy, low and behold the 103ci fatboy was released. This happens all the time

    Get one of the 110 S Bikes? For the extra dollars they are throwing in a lot.

    Cheers,

    No need to be patient if the 110 is already available in the model you want though, right?

    I got a 2016 Slim S last year, I waited for nobody!!!! I hear that the 110 is available in the Dyna range as an S aswell.

    yep 7 inches but in terms of real performance what difference does it make? is it really that noticeable?

    Hey Chilliman, no sour grapes ...

    Your bike is the nicest on the block and it's performance is ( as you suggest ) almost insignificantly different, to the 'new generation' bikes.
