A better question is what feature will they remove for 2023.... :laugh4:
For real! Or what will they charge extra for, above the “starting at” price that used to be expected with their top of the line bikes, like they did with paint this year.

What do you think they will have extra on the 2023 CVO limited?
Another few thousand Dollars.

Another few thousand Dollars.I got to that point sometime between 2012 and 2020....I guess that's why the '12 was replaced with a non-CVO bike. Now....that same sentiment seems to be developing about Harley in general.....next bike will be a ????????

It's why I haven't replaced my 2014 FLHTKSE. I had new bikes in 2001 (Sporty), 2002 (100th Anniversary Glide), 2005 (103 CVO Glide), 2006 (Jester), 2009 (110 CVO Glide), and 2014 (FLHTKSE). By that time the price was getting silly - I could buy a high spec CAR for the same money, or less, and it wouldn't have had the same quality and reliability problems, nor would it need a fortune of silly prices spent on P&A. (And a car manufacturer wouldn't get away with 90% of water pumps failing at under 20,000 miles!) This latest plan of theirs where they want to charge thousands extra for paint is breathtaking in its arrogance and stupidity. A new CVO Road Glide here (with the paint) is now £42495 (!) with less in the way of extras on it each year. I can buy a BMW 240i Msport coupé for £36010 (and there are plenty of discounts available on those too!) Decent warranty, and unlikely to break down in a few thousand miles.
Anyone who pays £42495 (US$53500) for a Harley is in need of serious mental health therapy in my opinion. But people do, got to show off how wealthy they are....

Well said. I'll keep my '01 Fatboy to satisfy my occasional HD itch but I can't justify paying the current prices for a Harley when I can by a new sports car for about the same money, be dry in the rain, cool in the heat, warm in the cold and most car nowadays don't eat their own engines at an early age. :soapbox:

The name/logo of the foreign company that buys HD?
It won't be long before that occurs. Though I think most of them know that Harley is sinking fast.

Actually, Harley has had a couple of strong quarters, they have changed the company into a smaller, much more profitable manufacturer. We’ll see how long that lasts but I remember the AMF years!
