Lot of funny stuff here,  but on the serious side of the issue,  (full)......all models........water cooling is likely only 2-3 model years away at best.  Victory canned their model line cause most of their models could not meet the current and/or upcoming European requirements for emissions and such.  Thus they chose to concentrate strictly on the Indian.

Things are a changing whether we like it or not.  How many of you still regularly use a (corded) drill versus one with a battery hanging off the bottom.

I'm not liking where all this is going,  but wake up and smell the roses........................Big time changes are coming quickly to what you currently know and love as a loud/snorting air cooled Harley.

I agree with you but honestly which works better, drill with corn hanging out or drill with a powerful compact battery? How many of us could use a iPhone 1 right now and enjoy it? If the M8 is any indication of where Harley is going I for 1 am all for it! Again I get I tend to be "Polly Anna" but I love my 17 Streetglide and am pleasantly surprised how trouble fee the new motor has been which never would have happened a few years ago..

I heard that for '18 that HD is teaming with Tesla Motors and bringing autopilot to the CVO touring bikes and will be integrated into the full line by 2020 at which point the whole line will be renamed 2020 Vision since Victories trademark will expire.

I told Willie years ago, "I'm getting old, but still hoping for a real wet motor that will eat miles and Wings all day".

Hopefully, if nothing else, they cut production at least in half.  It's getting old loosing 10m as soon as you sign the papers.

Easy solution to that is don't buy new.  Save the $10k and buy good used.  If enough did that often enough then they'd cut production  .

Anyone have the site information on California emmissions ...that is usually a good place to see what the new CVO models will be....

Hopefully the 18's will have nice colors and no flames for a change..

Nothing on the CARB site yet.  A few years back, they tightened up the window between posting the certs and the release at the dealer meeting.  There are now only a few days' lead time, if that.  I think last year was just a weekend in between.

The days of having a month or more to mull the possibilities seems to have passed.

Good to know. The dealer meeting is in LA. CA in late August but do not know the exact date???

115th Anniversary models with 115% price markup.  It's only fitting.

Fitting as in "special" anniversary paint & badges are worth 115% markup?  A serious and semi constipated sounding announcer with a low voice has already been approached to do the voice overs for the promo videos, no doubt.

I know it's a little early but....any word, rumors, facts etc. on what to expect for the sophomore year of the Milwaukee 8 CVO's? 

I heard the 2018's come with a candy bar with a golden wrapper, A la Willy Wonka, it is cheaper than a gold key and edible in case of a breakdown. Of course you must ration the eating of the candy bar, the equation provided by HD is (Miles-Did you get your service done at HD) X (year you purchased extended warranty X 2)= how many pieces of the candy bar you should consume per roadside breakdown!
