Anyone know when the dealer show is?

MILWAUKEE (June 1, 2009) - In a rare and not anticipated move, Harley-Davidson
launches the 2010 Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) Ultra Classic Electra Glide
earlier than in previous years. The 2010 CVO Ultra Classic Electra Glide is
Harley''s newest biggest and baddest, "The Big Hog".

Based on the already improved 2009 models, the new CVO Ultra has been enhanced
all around to teach the competition a lesson. A new 200 mm rear tire, a new
2-into-2 true dual exhaust system and other enhancements like the liquid cooled
Porsche-developed cylinder heads set a foundation for the next generation of
Harley-Davidson Touring motorcycles. The CVO Ultra is powered by the new and
CVO-exclusive Screamin’ Eagle Biofuel compatible LC Twin Cam 132-cid engine, the
largest displacement production engine offered by Harley-Davidson, producing 150
ft. lbs. of torque at 3250 rpm, as well as the smooth shifting 6 1-speed Cruise
Drive transmission with reverse.

The 2010 CVO Ultra rides on new custom chrome wheels with the owners name
engraved by a dealer-installed water jet cutting machine with a 200 mm, 17-inch
rear tire and 140 mm, 19-inch front tire. For that extra comfort, there is the
new, six-way electric controlled and dual-heated seat with separate outputs for
heated gear for rider and passenger. In addition the CVO Ultra has heated grips
as well as rider and passenger heated floorboards. A true Eskimo package.

The Harley-Davidson CVO program creates limited-production, exclusive
motorcycles produced by teams of technicians in a special assembly area at the
Harley-Davidson plants in York, Pa., and Kansas City. Approximately 2,200
examples of the 2010 CVO Ultra will be assembled at the York Vehicle Operations
facility and all of the will be vivid black. The suggested U.S. retail price for
the 2010 CVO Ultra is $43,333 with approved financing available from 3.33%.

Based on the Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic Electra Glide, the CVO Ultra offers
premium amenities from that model such as a 200-watt CD/AM/FM/WB/MP3/TV/DVD
Advanced Audio Video System by Harman-Kardon, CB and intercom, and passenger
audio with complete rider and passenger Bluetooth headsets including navigation
and mobile phone functionality, cruise control, plus standard XM Radio and
integrated touch navigation system from Garmin. The system is delivered with an
iPod dock by Denon and provides full iPod functionality through its large 5 inch
full color high resolution touch screen which controls all AAS functionality. A
total of six high quality speakers provide ample sound for the road.

The CVO Ultra rides on the all new Touring-exclusive Legend air ride rear
suspension system developed in partnership with Independent Cycle, Inc.
Improving on the ride quality previously available from Harley, the new System
allows to lower the bike to the ground and any level between ground and riding,
as well as higher heavy terrain riding level, by the flick of a switch allowing
the elimination of the side stand. A fitted indoor storage cover with CVO logo
and a unique Harley-Davidson CVO key in a presentation box are also included.

This is almost a copy of Louis' April Fools post, with a slight few changes made to the post.  Sorry, but I think a post like this is no better than the junk that gets sent around and keeps Snopes.com busy.

I suggest you avoid the thread if you are not curious or want to  discuss the  the new models

That was not a discussion of new models.  This was a copy of something already posted on this forum at a previous date (although with a few very minor changes, including the date).  http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=35285.0  The first time it was posted here was on April Fools Day and it was humorous at that time.  I just cannot figure why someone would take a post like this, make a few changes like they did, and then repost it.  I did just go back and look at something, and the person that just posted this has only been around since 4/27/09, so chances are they never saw it here on the forum before.  I know the one from April Fools Day was posted on some different forums, so he may have found this version elsewhere as it is written, and just reposted it here.  He probably thought that he was posting something not yet posted on here, and I probably came down on him for no reason then...other than a lack of creativity.  I still didn't find the humor, but then I'm not much into reruns either.

I won't avoid this thread, as I am curious about the new models.  If I weren't curious, then I wouldn't be reading the thread in the first place.  As for discussion of the new models, that's kind of tough to do when we don't know what they are going to be yet.  I guess I'll just have to put your suggestion in my "suggestion box".

Hey......just so we're clear here,  I posted it and found it on another site.  It looks kind of official thought it is hard to believe HD would make all those changes in one model year.

More than likely it is BS,  but I would not be surprised if some of it....(like water cooling and/or a V rod motor) becomes reality.

Water cooling and VRod motor are in the realm of possibilities, but the rest of it is BS.  When Harley comes out with that wish list on a bike, the price will be closer to double that, and forget ever seeing a TV coming stock on a motorcycle.

The MoCo is going to come out with a FLSTCSE. That's right, a Screamin Eagle Heritage Classic. Think about it. They need to compete with Indian's all new Chief Vintage. Indian is starting to take sales away from HD and what a better way then to copy the competition? Although the 110" won't be able to compete with Indian's 105 with no leaks.

Come on AJ, compete with Indian?

Tell us the truth, how many Indian Vintage's have been built and sold?

Yes, I hear there will be a S/E Heritage but in order for them to have competition there has to be something to compete with and a low volume mfg. like Indian doesn't count.

Latest I heard, the MoCo lost market share in the hvy. wt. mc division.  So, they're losing mkt. share to someone.  Of course, this is not the 1st time that they've had to compete with Indian.  spyder

Chip, I know you're open to the idea of riding other brands of motorcycles. What better bike than an Indian. IMC has said they are not trying to compete with Harley and would only like to gain 1% of the market share.They have a look that Harley has lacked over the years and it's now offered with a 105 cubic inch PowerPlus V-Twin with closed loop sequential fuel injection, Baker 6-speed transmission, and Brembo brakes. Plus, it's a real head turner!

If anyone is goin to be there, please post and let us know what you see.

Usually it's the 1st or 2nd week of July.  Anyone who is going to be there will have signed an NDA about what they see.  Sturgis Rally week is the first official public viewing, although some dealers will put the new bikes out on their showroom floor the same week.
