I thought H-D was to announce a new model in Daytona this year. Nothing yet???

[skippy]

 i thought maybe a 25th year Fatboy.....

What about the 50 year of the Electra Glide.

When you say "new model", are you talking about a truly new from the ground up motorcycle, or perhaps just another slight styling tweak?  The last truly new model I can think of is the little 500cc model whose name I can't remember.  Prior to that the only truly new model was the V-Rod.  Everything else has been new in name only.   Sticking a lowered suspension and seat on an existing model and calling it the XXX Low doesn't qualify in my mind as a "new model".

Amen

Jerry, I meant a styling tweak as you refer. I would love to see an all new design.

The latest American Iron mag has the 2015 Fat Boy review, and mentions that a 25-year anniversary version of the model may be released; that could be it.

HD is big on the anniversary editions.  I can understand the 100th anniversary model, but an anniversary model every five years?  It really decreases the "specialness" of the "special" models kind of like the mass market of the CVOs.  Maybe they have run out of ideas on how to improve their product.
