    The HD release slated for 26/27th January is titled "Further, faster"

    That leaked pic, has all three tourers (FXLRS w/ Fairing, RoadGlide & Streetglide), all with 117 motors. Likely to be those three "S" model bikes released with that slogan.

    I like the changes on the new lowrider s especially how they have moved the speedo and rev counter from the tank to the bars as it's a PIA to see the gauges when you riding as you have to take your eyes of the road, i'm very envious of the 117 donk too, the grey colour looks ok also-  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV8IGFSTb_Y

    But in reality the 117" donk is going to run like a pussy!  Your average 250cc Jappa will still leave the Harley in the dust unless you fork out an extra $5k on the engine to get it to perform...(my 09 stock-ish sporty would even leave the 117 behind)

    a cam, exhaust and dyno is a given (yep around 5k and I'm too big for a sporty), these M-8's are seemed to be a little strangled with the factory emission friendly cam, I wont comment about the sporty v a 117 LRS, as i have previously owned a evo sporty also

    Sporty 'might' struggle to win the race, BUT the quickshifter would give me an evil edge!

    I like the new speedo/tank set-up also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCDDyCsLJt0 I will be tempted if they aren't priced too high 

    Umm this is Harley nothings priced affordably.

    $35k aud for the low rider s touring version but I think on road costs come
    on top of that 

    Plus the obligatory exhaust and tune so around $40k me thinks

    Only thing Im not overly impressed with is the colour selection, but other than that, its awesome.

    Just looked at the full new line-up of all the 2022 models and all I seen was a lot of very expensive bikes. Seems like the cheapest bike in the range is the Softail Standard and is still up there in price for a bare bones bike. Well I taking a guess here that two things we happen after seeing the new bike pricing. One is that second hand Harley's will keep increasing in price and the second thing is that people will hold onto their old bikes because that's what I am going to do and my 2008 Heritage will probably be my last bike.

    Hi c. Haven’t looked at the range mesself. Why would you do that to yourself?  Maybe not new but late model may suit. Nothing wrong with your bike. I love the heritage and I have an 03 Softtail. Sure you may be paying more for anything newer but you’re also getting a few more dollars for your bike. There are always motivated sellers out there.

    Yep nothing wrong with my Heritage in fact it has very low ks on it a lot lower than many later models. I turn 62 in a few months time and have a few health issues and sometimes the weight of my Heritage can be a bit unsettling especially on a slope or uneven road surface when I stop the bike. I was thinking about a Street Bob or Sport Glide probably my favourite in the new Softail range but I will keep my Heritage I own it and it's reliable plus I don't have to touch my bank account for a new bike cheers.

    CVO paintjobs look awesome. Black n grey is a bit bland for the FXLRS & T, but atleast looks good.

    Im stoked on the FXLR ST. They've even lifted the bags 2in higher over the Sportglide for better clearance. Needs a stainless 2 into 1 and T bars, but all bikes do 😂. Glad it comes with mid controls stock too.

    Your knees probably SHOULD feel up by your knees haha.

    I get it though, it's not for people that want that stretched out feet forward position. Not for me though.
