anyone have any idea's as to what may be in store for the 13' CVO's...you think a larger 120 motor...or water cooled engine...post your thoughts...thx

[LovemyCVOgirl]

IMO they will not be releasing either one of these in 2013.  The 120 is still in the research stage before release and if they go to a water cooled engine I would presume it would be fabricated for the 120 due to the heat that scooter will produce.  Just my 2 cents worth

Water-cooled = no.  120 engine = possible.  JM2C.

I have no guesses as to what the 2013 engines will be.

However, last year when I was wondering if they would once again be offering a SESG in 2012, the earliest proof came from the California Air Resources Board.  Which requires any manufacture of a vehicle being sold in that state to provide information about that vehicle 30 days prior to it being offered for sale.  So on June 3, 2011, the information for which CVO models, and what size engine they would have, for the 2012 model year became public knowledge.  At least for the public that knew where to look. 

So I would expect the very first indications as to what models, and what motors will be in those models, will come from that source, around the same time again this year.  Below is the link to the document for the 2012 models that showed what Harley was going to be offering weeks before Harley officially announced their intentions at their dealer meeting.  Got to love the Internet.

Just checked the California Air Resources Board's website and nothing is listed yet for any 2013 models.  But if you keep checking back at the below link, you should start to see the different documents appear as the release dates for the new models start to get closer.

While Harley has a tight grip on their employees and dealers that keeps them from spilling the beans about new bikes that are coming, they clearly have no sway over California's ARB.

  I'm thinking the tight grip will be gone soon. When they decided to eliminate all the
full time employees, for temporary ones, I think the loyalty factor may have gone out
the back door with all those who may lose there jobs! Just saying!

Have to kind of wondering if there will be ANY significant changes to motors and stuff for 2013.

Could be wrong [I usually am] - but I think in the past they have had very few challenges selling any and all "Anniversary Models" in an Anniversary year.

Why would they make any huge changes if they are going to sell every model they make anyway....

Seems to make more sense to me if they waited till the year after to introduce major innovations.

Just sayin'.....

[Fast FLHX]

New paint

[2harleys]

Higher price tag

[Midnight Rider]

[Twolanerider]

Servicar

Oh yeah, SE Servicar .

[Puzzled]

Nice Servicar. 

A SE tri glide would be interesting.

The higher price tag is a given.

Water cooled will eventually make its way into the lineup.

[Midnight Rider]

Oh yeah, SE Servicar .

One thing great about the Servicar is you could have one kiss-ass stereo system...

Or, you could sell ice cream in the summer...
