That's why 2013 is the year for me!
And it's easy to get your name to the top of the list when you ask 4 years in advance!

To forecast that far in expectation of reliability and CVO greatness, amazes me to no end. Either your insight or research has got to be working full time.
Or, you're just rolling the dice.
The technology factor says multiple changes will take positive advances 100 fold by end of the decade. Just in the CPU chip alone, they expect less expensive multiple layer enhanced progress by the end of January, 2009. And we know there are already millions of processes existing. In real time, that's so much advance even Honda can't forcast how much technology will change the marketplace. But the manufacturers still have control as they buffer the tech advances to the consumer wallet.
I think the FLHRSE4 is a prime example. The amazing changes from a 2005 to a ride 3 years later could not be forecast by consumers without extensive research and some inside knowledge. Todays advances, plus EPA, CARB and other world friendly environment groups dictate that change will happen faster and faster and faster each year.
There's the old formula that applies to CPU power and performance which I can't remember for the life of me right now. But you know what I am referring to, yes?
Who knows what new tech product we will be typing on in three to five years?
Look at my CVO#3. Now That's a Screamin' Eagle Monster I want. But the tech changes will never let that happen in the configuration I had in mind then...
And as stated, the margin for error on the MOCO's part is higher than the House Odds on the PM Wheel in Las Vegas....
