Thought I’d post up the thread given the pending dealer conference on Aug 20. Share any news, rumours and best guestimates here. So far there’s short odds on wholesale changes in the Sportster range. I’m hoping to see the “Special” designated Tourers get optioned as a 114. Here’s some colourways to whet the appetite.

Far out, didn’t know HD had a colour chart, thought these days you just picked the sheen. All I ever see is gloss black, satin black, matt black, two tone black, blackout black, blakety black etc.
Forget spending bucks on accessories, want something different? Get a coloured bike.

Maybe they’re not black?

Pricing, the CVO ultra being $13k more than the standard ultra and $1k more than a Trike with the lot, that is a lot of money for a 107 to 117
I must be getting old as the trike is starting to get me

I hope you are on the right path that something is upon us

Exactly Pauly, mine goes from burnt orange at the front to blood red at the back, all this black sheep shite gives me the irrates, like so many boring silver BMWs or Mercs.

Like a government trying to sneak out its bad news on a Friday, Harley-Davidson conveniently trademarked three new model names in the run up to Christmas. Between December 7 and 21, Harley-Davidson trademarked the names Bronx, 48X and Pan America for use on motorcycles but what are they?

The 48X is instantly recognisable as the Forty-Eight is an existing model in Harley’s current Sportster range. Assuming Harley are following their standard naming convention (as seen on the FXDX and the XR1200X), the 48X is probably a Forty-Eight with upgraded brakes and suspension. Not only is this likely, it’s also a good move as the Forty-Eight is seeing increased competition from the new Indian Scout Bobber and the Triumph Bobber Black. Euro 5 is on the horizon too (January 2020), so Harley will have to update the engine in the Forty-Eight. We imagine a switch to four valve heads (as seen on the recent Milwaukee-Eight) will be the order of the day. It’s possible this may also coincidence with a range refresh, which is where the Bronx and Pan America likely come in.

While the Touring range and Softail range have had big changes in the last two years, the Sportster range is looking a little stagnant. A whole range update spearheaded by three new models wouldn’t be surprising. The Bronx is likely to be a bike with an urban focus, so it’s possible it will complement (or perhaps even replace) the Iron 883. We also imagine the Pan America could be a Sportster based tourer to replace the 1200T but with a more modern aesthetic like the new Sport Glide.

Trademark applications in the US have a 36-month ‘use it or lose it’ clause and with that 2020 deadline looming, we expect to see these new bikes (along with any further updates) around August 2019. We contacted Harley-Davison about the trademark applications and they said that they do not comment on future models

Yes it's interesting how Harley manages to keep it's new models so damn secret, you'd think some employee would leak something.
The name Pan America is interesting but it feels like the name for a grand tourer.
But with Pan in the name, I live in hope.

KiwiDave, which dealer is this please. I wanted to trade up to a StreetGlide, some time in the next 12 months.. Tossing up whether to wait to see if they fix the Sumping and whether they move over to monoshock.

Oh well heigh-ho, if the Twin Cam history repeats, then this M8 engine should be good to go by 2032 when it’s 120+ cubes and problem free :)
