HD announces end of the Sportster model
No more XL's past 2022... sounds like the "Sportster" name will be retired as well.
It's water cooling for new bike buyers now as the air cooled XL goes the way of the dinosaur. I imagine the clock is ticking for the air cooled M8 at this point.
Harleys of the future just won't sound or feel the same.

Living in time of collectors items.
Looks like my life ran full gamut. Turning down 800 dollar panheads that were rode up to me for sale
To electric drive trains taking over. What a life.
Kinda pity my grandkids. Choices will be narrowed down again. Living in Bic lighter ville.
