Definitely water cooled motors. I also think Harley will come out with something like that Bombardier 3 wheeler. I still think the V-rod will have a touring edition soon.

There IS a glut of late model used baggers for sale at most all Harley dealers too. Since the '09s with the new frame came out, a lot of '04-'08 low milage Ultras have been traded in. I think some dealers may have way too many of them on hand for their on good. ..............JMHO though.

harley will have a water cooled version soon. And the MOCO is pushing to increase market share to women.

The future is 600cc performance and 800cc cruising. How Harley is going to get there, or whether it is going to become a niche market, nouveau Indian instead is the question. With the US looking at lots of new $5k cars on the market, we're going to see those changes that most folks wanted.

I will go out on a limb and predict Honda will make a little $900 bike that gets 164 mpg. I'll go out on another limb and predict that you will not see it in the US. That's cheating a little, since they already do. Change is coming. Are you ready? Is Harley ready?
