Well I for one am hoping for a liquid cooled RK.&nbsp\\; Riding in the heat of Arizona will definately be at least a little more comfortable if/when it does happen....anyone hear any good rumors&nbsp\\;regarding any of the '09's of late?

Contrary to popular belief, water cooling doesn't necessarily mean less engine heat on the rider.

+1.&nbsp\\; I rode my buddys Triump Rocket 3, it was MUCH hotter for the rider then my Twin cam 96.&nbsp\\; The heat coming through the radiatior was cooking!

I really hope the other direction, there's plenty of proven bikes that are water cooled, if you really feel water coooled is the way to go, I am hoping the motor company can solve EPA issues etc. with&nbsp\\; air cooled.

Just curious, why do you own a harley when there is a great selection of water cooled bikes out there?

If you want a metric bike, there's plenty to choose from. But let's face it, wouldn't you really be happier in a car?

I'm not putting anyone down because they want a water cooled bike,it just seems strange to spend so much money on a bike&nbsp\\;that doesn't do what you want when there are so many good ones that do.&nbsp\\;
