Look at the prior years, everthing was lsted then. It looks like this is first year they are delaying posting all the CARB information. Oh,, there is an 883 so confmirmed, looks like it is still around. Also,over on pashnit.com in General, there is a MO CO Kanas City factory worker that made statment in one of his posts saying no water cooled's this year, and no surprises with a V-Rod Touring.

That's the answer I was looking for. CARB has been the confirmation of upcoming models. I wouldn't be surprised if HD has been trying to get that hole closed for some time. Maybe they finally succeeded.

Well, considering that the news today is that the MoCo just purchased Italian motorcycle co MV Agusta, we may see some entirely different scooters on the showroom floors........they've got some little econo bikes in their line-up that might fit right into the present demand also.    har!  spyder

I don't think we had true 'confirmation' last year did we? I remember stuff from the CARB board that turned out to be accurate, but that wasn't a real confirmation, just good sleuthing.

No.  And we never have.

Econo models?  Will be homework time later.  The only Augustas I've ever seen were the F4s and the Brutales (sic?).  The Brutales cost as much as a Road King and the F4s as much as some of the CVO bikes.

I spied around the CARB site and couldnt find anything pretaining to filling deadlines. Im sure there is but I cant find it. I think your right, the MO CO is using some sort of loop hole on filing the Touring line.. Based on prior, I think they have too. I supsect the filing will go the day of the Dealer Show..

I guess there are multiple definitions to the word confirmation. However, ours are the same.

 ...I hope someone will share pictures from the show on the 22nd. It will a fun time to be on this site on July 22nd.

From what I understand, the HD website will be updated on the 22nd as well.  So, spy cell phone pictures will really be of no value

They will be valuble if we get them before the site is updated

Chief,  I like good sluething.  It is almost as good as any definintion of comfirmation.

By the way last year the California EPA site was totally accurate.

Yep.....that's part of the way the press release from the MoCo described the aquisition......MV Agusta's ( F4-r in-line 4 cyl. watercooled   1078cc / 190hp) and the lightweight motorcycles in the CAGIVA line up.  They're touting targeting a younger crowd with the "exclusive, premium high performance sport motorcycles".    spyder

There's a dealer up in Kansas City, KS for the Augustas. Have visited there when in the area.  The Cagiva name was a new one to me until today.  Just what I needed, more homework.

Maybe but the HD site does not show the TRUE coloRS

You are correct about the colors.  By looking at the HD site I thought my 08 SEUC was goning to be red.  When I got to see it up close and personal, I learned it is more orange.

[Road_Glider]

All the press release articles will be out real soon after the HD website starts showing the new '09 line up.  If prior years is any indicatin, the press has already had hands on these new bikes and written their artilces which are just sitting by waiting for the deadline to pass on their non disclosure agreement.  And I agree for some reason the pics that the MOCO comes out with never do their bikes justice as compared to good high quality professional stuff.
