    Default Harley Releases New Trike for 2015

    Introducing the Freewheeler:

    http://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US...eewheeler.html

    bike.jpg

    Looks like a factory version of a Lehman conversion; great option for the crowd that wants an OEM trike but doesn't like the fuddiness of the Tri-Glide.

    Between this, the Street bikes, the electric bike... HD is really branching out.

    Of course, given how the F3 appears to be marketed towards the cruiser crowd interested in a trike, it'll be interesting how much the F3 is cross-shopped with this. An OEM HD option is going to be exceptionally tough competition, I'd think.

    Pricing seems good on the HD trike compared to the TG. Will the dealers really sell them for that, or tack on the "special" fees? When TG first came out they were about $6,000 above suggested MSRP here. No accessories added.

    Also noted on the internet yesterday that HD is coming out with some new Low Ride models. Electra Glide included. A 25" seat height to get more lady riders on their two wheeled steeds.

    What is the M.S.R.P. for this one?
    I prefer the cargo capacity of the Tri-G; but it ain't bad looking!

    $25k in black + $500 for color.

    Their "amber whiskey" color looks a lot like cognac!

    That price sure beats the $40,000 base price of the previous model.
    I love the safety features we enjoy though...

    he must be thinking. Canadian money. The 2014s I considered would have been $35k for a red one.

    Have seen that color/model in person. It is a real looker, and so was the driver.

    Default High all over

    Nothing to do with my locale.
    The American HD website listed the HIGH American price, not sure what the difference would be in Canadian green backs.
    If it's $41,359 now, why is $40,000 last year, so unbelievable?

    Test drove a 2010 TG when I was looking at three wheels. Didn't like it. If the 2015 TG is better and the price is right...

    I test rode the TG and Spyder back to back, and rode my wing trike all in the same day. Decided on the Spyder. Nuff said. Tom

    Looks real nice in a retro kind of way. Sure are a lot of new three wheelers on the road around here of all types.
