Seems I recall there may be a 131" possible a bit later for the 2017 M8 . Did read about it a bit at the release of the new motors but nothing was really set in stone as far as I know. Curious if indeed there is any more chatter, or good info on the rumor. Matter of fact seems there may have been a couple other upgrades in motor size. but once again nothing in stone at least at that time. Just curious if anyone in the know has anything they can share . Sure there is some rumor, but would be nice to see something factual either way.
Thanks

"IF" the MoCo really decides to put an 131" M8 into a Road Glide, I might be tempted to actually by a new one!

But until then, I'll keep my 2009 CVO YELLOWBIRD!

Hey Happy, I had a few interweb sites bookmarked prior to the release. Looking back through some of them, most were rumors with speculation of the size of the new motor at 107, 114 and up to 131 ci options. Since the release of the new motor, nothing about the 131 opinion that I can find. I'm not saying it's not out there, just not as of yet past the rumor stage.

yes it was prolly wishful thinking by some who want a large motor.
just the other day was at a dealer chatting to the owner, and there was mention of a 134" that may have been given some thought .

Everyone wish bigger , faster etc. but how many wanna pay 40K + for a bike, not so many. And for those that want bigger S&S is there with 124'' and monster 143'' (plus there are other co. that make big engines ) including HD 120 st and R ..so I think 107 and 114 with upgrade to 117 will stay a while. They might do something to 120 st or R, who knows.

The new 8 motor is a counter balanced motor. Why build a big one?
It can't do higher RPM.

What does "big" have to do with "rpms"

If anything, having larger displacement allows you to produce more Trq & HP with lower rpms!!

Star Racing has said that it will produce a very streetable 150/150. Who cares how high it revs??

That would make me seriously think about trading for a new Street Glide! (Or maybe adding a 3rd ride to my collection

)

That has to be a blast. I love my 138HP/140torque CVO King, that dozens to rev past 5800 rpm. So much fun to ride. The above can only be more fun.

Eccool Already knows this via the HDForums, but George B. from Star Racing also has a "T153" that will produce 200 rideable, Streetable HP!

Very soon these M8's are gonna be FOR REAL!!!

I can see the need for a 150 HP bagger but 200....that's just showing off!

Right now I have Janet convinced that I NEED the Ultra for touring and the king for hot rodding. How do explain the bagger that's faster than the hot rod? Good thing I have a little time to work it out! Guess I can just leave the 114 tags on it!

Joe, from my experience, the second one is the hardest. By the time you go for the third one they've already accepted your habit.

The T153 is a Twin Cam, not a M8.

Janet accepted my insanity a long time ago, or she just gave up. Either way I've had some pretty cool toys in my life.

I agree. She never said a word about the third bike. I cam in told her I bought a new CVO. Asked if I traded the year old CVO, and I told her no. She said "Oh, okay, what did you get"

I told Janet about this conversation last night and her question was "So, are you gonna need a third lift?". Any wonder why I love her?
