I find it kind of funny the four valve and dual spark plugs remind me of my old Yamaha RoadStar which was introduced in 1999.   Yes it looks to have great numbers but this type of engine is nothing new.   I wonder what took the motor company so long.  I have to say the Yamaha was a very bullet proof motor.  I saw many that has 60-100+ K on the clock without ever needing a repair.   It just needed the valves adjusted a couple of times during that kind of duty cycle with regular oil changes.

And of course they come out with their version of a blue tooth headset, but you can't pair it with the bike, just your phone...LOL

We saw that while watching the meeting but they gave no specs on it.

The wet head twin cam is gone but the wet head Milwaukee 8 is alive in 114 variation:

Looking at the assembly video, I'm guessing they redesigned the Milwaukee 8 from the top down but still placed the oil filter in the same dang location.  If the MoCo listened to their customers, Uda-thunk they would'a redesigned that small pain in the booty oil filter location, too...

I'm heading back to the dealer now to see what all he's taking off his truck today.... I'll try and get a pix if I remember.

So now the most important question:  Which CVO SG color will be the hot one this year?  After owning a mercury and grey bike I think I am partial to something a bit more subdued like the black and gray color scheme....What say the board???

With the Candy Cobalt / Indigo Ink SESG, I can't help but be reminded of the 2004 FLHTCSE "Huckleberry".

[/Me too it was my favorite bike.  Not sure how the new one really compares

None of them seem to fantasmic to me. I guess I'd be most attracted to the sunburst orange/starfire black or the dark slate candy/arctic black - likely the dark on black would appeal to me best in person.

For the Limited, blah, maybe Black Garnet and Electric Red Pearl.

Noticed they have the CVO Limited priced at $40,999 (RGU price from two years ago). Can anyone imagine a CVO RGU coming out at $43,499 ? Swallow Hard.
