What's going to happen when all the other models go water cooled with a revo or who knows what kind of motor?? Will all of us old farts NOT buy them because they're not real Harley's? I think most of us will. I for one am waiting anxiously!!

It seems that this is EXACTLY the course HD is going.
The revamp of the touring frame is without a doubt in order to put in a more stout motor in the near future. HD has a tendency to roll in upgrades one step at a time. The only question I have is will they put in a water cooled V-Twin, or will they go with an oil cooled head like they have on the XR1200 Sportster. Next year will bring some interesting changes to the Touring line. Of course this is purly speculation, but feel free to mark my words.  |

So long as that new powerplant for the touring models comes in a blacked-out version, I'm happy.

It's really kind of scary how a hobby can consume you in just a few years.

Ain't that the truth! Does AIM need a sittin'-on-the-couch-watchin'-football-and-NASCAR editor?
If so, I think I've found my niche!
