A SE Trike would have a price of $50000+....after getting consumers over the initial shock, the MOCO could creep up the rest of the CVO line's price.

I was talking to a Sceaming Eagle engineer  at a dealership seminar and he said they were already working on a steet tuned 120cc motor for a production bike.Thats all I could squeeze from him.

I'd love to see the street tuned 120 motor on the 2013 CVO Street Glide!  I'd have to break down and get one!

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

A water cooled Harley for the touring class will happen, but when?? Only Mother Harley knows.. With the EPA regulations getting tougher each year, my guess something will pop next year, because year 2013 is the new deadline for all manufacturers to abide by new much tougher EPA regulations..  Last year (maybe the year before  ) Harley filed a Patent for a new Water-Cooled Head. This topic has been discussed here on several posts and the attached web page is a saved Bookmark from one of those discussions.        www.cyrilhuzeblog.com/2011/06/21/harley-davidson-water-cooled-heads-patent
 
IMO - Harley will adapt to this either next year or 2014..  Although - I'm really curious what Mother Harley has up their sleeves for the non- touring models, maybe the Revolution motors ?

I don't think we'll see anything new or too exciting in 2013 becasue the MoCo will most likely be pumping up the sales hype on the 110th Anniversary.

It will be in 2014 that we see new stuff to keep the sales going.  But I wouldn't count on water cooled anytime soon, if ever.

JMHO

Couldn't agree with Grizzly more HD can hype the 110 Anniversary ( basically paint and emblems), and upgrades/changes for the next year.

Sure would like to see a SETRIKE

[redbeard719]

Flame suit on....check.

I'd like to see a SE Sportster.  While it's not gonna be near the likes of any other current SE bike, I think MoCo could do some good things to it, and younger buyers would jump all over it.

It is really sad when 20% of the bikes HD produces are "anniversary" models (eg. every 5 years they have an "anniversary").  It really makes the bikes special.

Only problem is that it would have a retail price of $1799.00!!!


I said it before, I still think they will come out with a Screaming Eagle CVO Trike.
Maybe not this year, but it's coming.

A CVO Trike with the 120 motor and wheelie bars.  And only offer the 120 motor in the trike that year, then the following year put in the rest of the CVOs. 

[funbiker1967]

Any one have any insight on the 2013 Touring CVO yet?  Power Plant that will move it??  We are not that far away now....  The 120 would be awesome for pulling the camper!!  Liquid cooled would be awesome for the grind through the big cities.  I keep hearing about a liquid cooled head??

[grandpadoc]

I think wet motors are moving in soon. I'm not sure if water or oil, but they are into oil on the Sportster already. Has anyone ridden a wet Sporster to see if it runs any cooler ??  Doc

As Clint Eastwood would say, "Do you feel lucky, punk"?! 

The Anniversary models are usually more hype than substance...imho, I think we will see more changes in 2014 than 2013.

But let's say for argument sake, that Harley does do something for 2013 (113", 120", oil/water cooled etc.)...do you really want to be the "beta" tester for Harley?

We all know there were "issues" in the first 2 years of the introduction of the 110" engine and for the most part those issues were solved 2 years later in 2009...do you really think with the latest round of layoffs, bad economy, cost cutting "efficiencies" etc. that the first run of these new engines/changes will be trouble free? Maybe...maybe not...but I've learned through experience that being a "first adopter" is not always the best choice.

Just something to think about...your nickel, your call.


Now come on Spring and where the heck is my new bike...I've been waiting since August 2011 on my new "Skunk"!!!
