My cousin works at HD and he was telling me they're putting 110s in all bikes in the sportster lineup starting next year. Said the rest of the lines will deal with the underpowered 103s but Harley really wanted to get back into the race scene. Said to expect a 145" motor for the sportster in 3 or 4 years as well.

Sorry fellas my source has never lied to me.

I'm thinking maybe they will put the new 120R in the CVO's. Because the CC's between the 103 and the 110 are very close. Plus the 110 motor got a bad rap with all the recalls.

I customized an 1800 and to date it is still the fastest bike I have ever owned. My buddies have a Suz Bandit 1200 and Triumph 1050 Tiger. I wasn't faster but they couldn't pull away from me either. And my bike was hauling a 270 lb rider.

Nice VTX! Here's a shot of my old 2003. These definitely had some ***** during their time.
