Jake318, you are so right.
I watched a documentary on TV a year or so ago. It wasn't about bike in general but they did point out that if every motorcycle was taken off the road, there would be no "significant" change in our air quality OR any "measurable" difference in our environment.
Back to what I said earlier, if big brother says it, too many people just go along with it.

Our DM from the moco has already told us this will be the lagest new model roll out ever..........we'll see.
My opinon, the first Waterbagger will be built around the now discontinued FLTR.

Sadly, you are right. It's a "macho" thing to have the biggest motor. If you have anything smaller thgan the biggest you're either not a man, or you're too "poor" to afford anything "nicer".
I posed a question to some guys a while back: "If the Dodge Viper had a 400hp V8 and a 500hp V10, would the V8 "base model" be considered a chick car?"

We're all happy about having the 103/110 option. The BS is that you have to buy this IN ADDITION to your stock 96. When you buy a car you don't buy the basic 4-banger and have to buy a seperate 6cyl; you just choose which engine you want!
Harley ought to offer an engine option.
"Would you like your Fatbob with a 73, 96, 103, or 110, Sir?"

Harley is trying to keep the power the bikes already have . The EPA restrictions keep strangling the engines more and more , forcing the displacement increaces to keep status quo. The EPA is a department that has no checks and balance . whatever they say is gospel in the publics eye and they know it . Talk to any scientist out of the EPA loop and they will tell you the EPA theories are shakey at best. They use scare tactics for continued/increasing funding . Jake

Yeah, well as somebody said in the distant past, there is no replacement for displacement. I for one, enjoy being able to keep up with a minivan when accelerating uphill on a freeway onramp, or a little extra pop when passing or merging onto a superslab.
