I think JUNE

Hmmm, wonder if we drain the radiator, it will bring back the potato-potato sound??  Just saying.

Agree with you, Charlie...another year on the SERGU, and there's no way that they are going to stop the SEUC.

I don't think it would be a CVO first go around, but at some point in time they really need to produce a factory bagger, or a "Sport Tourer" using the Revolution engine as a base, bumped up some in CC's, larger frame, etc.  It would be good competition for the Beemers, Yamahas, Hondas, and Kawasakis.  It may not sell to the die hard HD crowd, but it might get the attention of the 30-40 year olds who are tired of the crotch rockets and looking for something more comfortable for distance riding.

I agree with you Terry...I think a factory "BaggerRod" will show up some day soon.  I remember talking to my dealer a couple of years ago and he had stated that he'd heard that the MoCo was tinkering with an 1800CC water-cooled revolution engine in an FLH-type frame.  I think it's inevitable...

The sound will never change with water jackets around the jugs.
It can only change "if" they change the crank!
The only thing you won't hear is the "engine clatter"!

"Found this."
Found this where?
Today is not April Fools day.

Need to look at the date of the article.

>>If you believed this story, check the date-- yep, it was published on April Fools day! Harley-Davidson has not released any plans to add water-cooled engines to their lineup.<<

this is becoming a yearly event... when the moco finally does go to the water no one will believe it!

hope for a Road Glide CVO with the FLHXSE2 add-on..

What pray tell is the "FLHXSE2 add-on" ? A 2nd CVO ?

I'm guessing the rear fender and stretched saddle bags?

They did that in 2009... FLTRSE3

2012 HD CVO Predictions:
- powerplants will be basically same as 2011
- no new bagger models will be offered
- will be more of the same excpet for some new colors and paint schemes

power plants will not change until 2014.  You heard it here first.

What happens in 2014, they outsource the entire thing to China?  Or maybe Rotax?

You say Rotax like it's a bad thing!
Great motors from Rotax!

Nope, didn't mean it to be negative with regard to Rotax.  They make much better stuff than Harley has ever dreamt of making.  Odds are it would be too expensive for the cheap bastards in Milwaukee however, so I'm betting on the all Chinese version.
