As the title says, when will I be able to stream the hew '26 launch of the Harleys?

I still have my '09 SERG orange/black with only 27k miles on it and will probably trade it in on a new '26 Tri Glide.  I'm hoping that they "may" reinstate" the CVO Tri Glide for another year, but from some of the sneak peaks, probably not this year...

But still, I would like to know what colors are going to be available and if the new '26 will have the updated Street Glide fairing and 12.3 infotainment system.

Any direction or thoughts?

Thanks in advance, Dan

I don’t think they have made an announcement yet as to when they will be releasing the info on the 26 models with the exception of the Police Model Road Glide. The last several years they have waited until January and I think I read where they were gonna move that back toward the more traditional fall timeframe but I don’t think the time has been released.

The dealer meeting will the 2nd or 3rd I believe.  My dealer's general manager says he's leaving the 1st and will be back home on the 4th, so, 2nd or 3rd.

Yes, Harley has said several places that they decided to move the new model launch up so that dealers can still get some new model year sales into this fiscal year.  I was just wondering, like in the old days, they had their website up as soon as the dealers were shown the bikes.  Just wondering when to pop open the website for a look see.

Thanks, Dan

I have been told that the new unchanged bikes will be announced this year around November.  If the bike is changed from 2025 to 2026 it will be announced end of January beging of February.  So for example if the Trikes get the new Skylline OS or center cooled M8 or new farings and tank, they wont be released until next yeart.

I've been watching and searching for anything related to Harley's new 2026 release since around Thursday this week.

Years past, it was a "known" thing where and when the model showing was etc.  My local dealer GM left for Milwaukee on Tuesday and the last time I talked with him, a couple weeks ago now, he was coming back on the 7th.  He said that there are many meetings/seminars etc over the course of the dealer meetings, not just the new line release.  But he was NOT forthcoming with any other information.  He worked directly for Harley in Milwaukee for 12 years before relocating to our local dealership.  He's been around the block a few times.

I'm still just dumbfounded that there is not more chatter going on over what is supposed to be 2026 launch week/weekend.  I can remember years ago at work in St. Louis logging into the Harley website and they streamed the new models, but only after showing them to the dealers first.  I think that was in Las Vegas.

AND... This forum seems to be very distant about anything new and upcoming, unlike even 10 years ago when there was pool boy after pool boy selling their souls...

I still have my '09 SERG, but it will either sell or be traded in on my new Harley Tri Glide Ultra.  OR, hopefully a 2026 CVO Tri Glide Ultra

The least I'm looking for out of the new line up is the hopeful upgrade to the new Street Glide fairing and 12.3" Infotainment center.  Anything more than that would be icing on the cake.  Although a bump to the 117" motor would be nice!

Let's keep our fingers crossed guys!

Later dudes and dudettes, Dan

I've been watching closely, but no new news at all.

While at a very small mom/pop Harley dealership on Friday afternoon, she said that they did NOT go to the dealer meetings, but had heard that the video/website update is due out on November 5th'ish.

I have semi confirmation that NO MORE RUSHMORE hang on items.  That would be the Trikes in both the R3 Road Glide and the Tri Glide Ultra.  Both have the '14/'15 Rushmore fairing redesigns.  They are the only two models in '25 that still had the remnant fairings.  One dealership was quite stern in that the new "stock" motor SHOULD be the 117".  The 114" has been around on stock bikes and the R3 and Tri Glide were the only two bikes still running the 114" motors.

Still, all just speculation until the HD announcement day.

Artie is still in the planning stages for the new product reveal and pizza party to be held at the Waukesha driving range and mini-golf off of East Racine Avenue. Everyone in attendance gets a slice of meat lovers and a small bucket of range balls. 🤪

I talked to a GM last week after the meetings. In Nov Harley with start showing bikes that are carry over models without changes. Then they will start teasing new stuff that will be coming, leading up to the new bikes being released in Jan.

I just found out that "if I'm looking for a 2026 Tri Glide (or similar name) CVO, I'll be VERY happy!  Also asked me what my favorite colors are and I said red and blue.  He said I will be VERY VERY happy then.

Also that the trike is totally redesigned front to rear.  Street Glide updated front end and the solid non-pivoting rear axle is now going to be a semi-independent rear suspension.

Not much more than that at this time.  He's going to get back with me as soon as they are able to be ordered.

Still keeping my fingers crossed...

Over $60k?

[Dan_Lockwood]

Over $60k?

Don't know yet, but the MSRP on a new 2022 Tri Glide was $49,999'ish.  I'm guessing that the '26 will be mid to high $50's.

You know what they say, you can't take it with you.   All I know is this, I don't want to be watching TV and getting around in a walker years from now saying that I WISH I had bought that new CVO trike.

My dad is 76, he bought an 03 RKC new and rode the hell out of it.  He had gotten a little nervous with two wheels but wanted to keep riding (with me and my brother) as long as possible so he bought a Tri-Glide last year.  He LOVES it!  He’s got a renewed confidence in riding and can’t wait for our next Smoky Mountain trip.

I just turned 76 this past Monday.  I bought my '09 Harley Road Glide CVO new and only had 27k miles on it.  It's gone now for a few weeks and I'm trying to hold back the excitement until I know what color and how much it's going to run us.  But I'm sure it will be worth it to us.  I'm glad your dad is staying with the riding.  I'm still good with two wheels, but just didn't like the parking lots with a bit of loose gravel on them.  At least I can't tip over a trike in a parking lot...

Funny, my brother also has an 09 SERG, also in orange & black, good luck with the Tri-Glide, hope the color is what you want.

Amen to that Dan.  I hit 65 in a couple months and have wondered if a trike will be in my future someday also?  Whatever it is I'll ride something.  Have fun with whatever it is and I hope the colors are f'ing awesome!
