Well, looks like they will still carry the 1600 Nomad, but have eliminated the 1500.
The 1700 Nomad is listed under touring, while the 1600 is listed under cruiser. Hmmm.

That's not what I heard from my dealer. He said they are killing the 1600 and 1500 engines all together.

It's confusing on the web site. I thought the same thing until someone pointed out the 1600 was listed as 2008 models and the 1700 as 2009 models.

1600 will be discontinued in '09. Dealers will probably still have some left over new 1600's from '07 and '08 but the '09 nomad will be a 1700.

bomadgary · 10-29-2008, 01:50 PM

I was talking to my dealer last Saturday about the Nomad and he also said that 08 is the last model year for it.

Just think how cheap you will be able to pick up a beautiful 1600 brand new. In a few months they will be itching to make room for the 09's.

Yep

oh yeah.... ;)

It could be that the leftover 08's will go fast as people that dont like the new 1700's snap them up. I dont like the new Nomad much but a new bike is not on the cards for me anyway.

jonsamson · 10-31-2008, 07:52 PM

That is why I bought my 2008 a year earlier than I had planned. I didn't like the 2009, and I only found one ultra fast (black and red) here in Birmingham. I don't regret buying in octorber near the end of the season, sweet bike.

Only four model years for our trusty 1600, humm :-/

landman · 10-31-2008, 09:15 PM

my dealer thought they will keep the 1500 classic as a low
cost full size cruiser costing 10 grand.

So, does that make them classics? Or, does that make us a dying breed?

I'll be the first to second that, I don't regret buying at the end of the year either, I probley would have gotten a better deal next year. Though maybe not the super ultra fast 2007 red and titanium ;)

rflnomad · 11-04-2008, 08:07 PM

Landman has the right idea. The 1500 Classic can be a cheap 'tourer' with windshield & soft bags. Or, it can be a great solo bike as well. It can be altered to a neat custom WITHOUT spending $$$$$$$$$ on crazy billet thingys.
I always thought the 1500 Classic was a steal.
