From europ news...
No more Ktm Superduke 1290, Honda cbr600, hayabusa,etc, v-max... From january 2017 and Euro 4 in Europe (companies were authorized to sell Euro 3 in 2016, but no more in 2017 ! )

That's why the oil and/or water cooled 8 valves is absolutly necessary to Harley...

Examples:

With KTM being Austrian you'd think they either have or will soon have a solution.

So I made it to the motor plant in KC Saturday and got to ride a 17 CVO ulrta, it was the green one so no comment other than its not to bad looking also seen the black/red & black/orange SG the B/O the better looking imo. It was only a 15 mile ride a lill city, twisty, interstate course, the motor was quite only sound(s) was from intake, I flog it pretty good, power Gose flat about 4K but your moving, was hitting 90 to 100 in forth gear and was smooth, getting on the interstate got run thru the gears against two others an dynas and was able to pull them and I was two up. I don't ride a bat wing and probly never own one, stating this cause the buffeting was bad so it took my attention away from the suspension evaluation at speed, but felt good at lower speeds. That my take on the new...now I hope 18 will have a cvo RG and the new 114 holds up

I rode the same bike on Friday and flogged it pretty hard.   By the way was the cop sitting on the course just waiting to give you a ticket? I thought it was kinda funny he was sitting on a side road intersection just waiting on the first mile of the course.  Kinda like he was sending a message to stay off the wick.  I wrote a review that was moved to the ultra section.  I felt  the bike was very well thought out,  I personally ran it out to the rev limiter many times and it is just weird how it works, it doesn't studder it just goes flat at 5k or so.  All in all if my bike shot craps this is the way to go.  I could not believe how well they got rid of the heat.  That bike was run all day and when it took it out it was over 90* and I felt no heat on my right calf or thigh.  As for suspension it was way better than my FLHXSE3, adding 1" more travel and a plush seat does wonder but I did miss the lower feeling of my ride.

Why so much hatred against my green bike brothers?   

[muddypaws]

Yours is a much better color. I like yours...

Kermit green is way better than baby poop green.
