<<< Continued from cover inspirational machine that makes any surface a road . And that was it ! Nothing about those returning models , as such , and therefore no insight into any that have been dropped , and , most unusually , nothing about there even being new paint , accessories ( or G & A ) options for them . This edition of AMD went to press some ten days before the planned reveal , so we can ' t be sure what they are driving at , but , reassuringly , Harley did remind us that its brand " stands for the timeless pursuit of adventure and freedom for the soul " and that potential buyers could go to the website to learn more . Good then ! That was the wording of Harley ' s
release , suggesting that if there are any new model announcements , they may well be in a new category . That said , the most widely expected ' newbie ' for MY2024 would have been an additional , lower displacement ' Pan America ' ADV model on the modular ' Revolution
AMA Pro Racing , in collaboration with Øuterkind and the City of Sturgis , has announced a major new event on the 2024 Progressive American Flat Track schedule : the inaugural Spirit of Sturgis TT . This " spectacle of motorcycle sport " is scheduled for August 11 , 2024 , coinciding with the final Sunday of the 84th Annual City of Sturgis Motorcycle Rally - continuing a legacy of motorcycle racing for the city that dates back to 1938 . " The history and the legacy of the City of Sturgis Motorcycle Rally started with racing ," said Mark Carstensen , mayor of the City of Sturgis . " To host this event , Sturgis is building the bridge to the future ." The Spirit of Sturgis TT is a culmination of the collaborative effort to combine the rich heritage and tradition of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally with American Flat Track ' s 70 + years of national championship racing to create a modern-day racing spectacle for fans . This groundbreaking event is taking place in the vibrant heart of downtown
Max ' platform . Despite the ' hoop-la ' that BMW has successfully managed to create surrounding its heavily updated 1300 cc GS adventuring touring iteration , mid-displacements are where buyers are focused currently - especially in international markets . As far as the existing categories are concerned , Harley ' s release was light on tech detail - in fact , there wasn ' t any - and even more surprisingly , shorter on the usual hyperbole . However , AMD is led to believe that the MY24 V2.0 announcement should see some Trike news and the start of migration of Harley ' s VVT tech to the Touring lineup with new Street Glide and Road models - albeit on the 117 " platform . There will likely be eight existing
Softail models continued for all markets , plus the existing Sport Glide for " international " markets . The Sportster S and Nightster options are continued . Some kind of new race style model is also speculated , but sans-VVT ( which is odd if true ). All things considered , it doesn ' t look
Sturgis and will feature " an innovative mix of street and dirt sections and free for the public to attend ." Gene Crouch , CEO of AMA Pro Racing , states : " The Spirit of Sturgis TT is not just a race ; it ' s a tribute to the enduring legacy of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally , blending tradition with innovation . Racing through the storied streets of Sturgis promises a spectacular new chapter in the city ' s rich history in motorcycle racing , while offering an unparalleled experience for fans and competitors . " The inaugural Spirit of Sturgis TT race like the market is about to be treated to the kind of MY2024 that is needed . That was the wording of Harley ' s release , suggesting that if there are any new model announcements , they may well be in a new category . That said , the most widely expected ' newbie ' for MY2024 would have been an additional , lower displacement ' Pan America ' ADV model on the modular ' Revolution Max ' platform . Despite the ' hoop-la ' that BMW has successfully managed to create surrounding its heavily updated 1300 cc GS adventuring touring iteration , mid-displacements are where buyers are focused currently - especially in international markets . As far as the existing categories are concerned , Harley ' s release was light on tech detail - in fact , there wasn ' t any ; and even more surprisingly , shorter on the hyperbole than usual , simply stating a bunch of the blindingly obvious .º
