It's gonna be a standard FatBoy with the 1800cc 110ci Liquid-Cooled Engine! And it's going to be a Hybrid to make it more eco-friendly! I said it first! Let the rumors proceed! (making this up, btw)

I heard fully-electric Fat Boy- An FEFB. Completely green. Pipes will be replaced with a large capuccino maker.

I can say with certainty that the one on the left is a revamped Fatboy that is watercooled...

I've heard the rumors of watercooled engines but don't really understand why HD would change the thing that is most associated with them and that's the gnarly, vibrating sound and feel of their proprietary V-Twin engine. I mean, yeah they run hot and yeah they run rough, but isn't that why we ride Harley's in the first place and not... Hondas?

I can tell you this, when your stuck in traffic during the summer in Arizona...you wish the bike was water cooled! The V-rod is water cooled and still a badass bike! That pic look a lot like the Blackline and Fatboy low to me. The Blackline has a very limited market and buyers since you can't change much on them at this point. Perhaps Harley decided to make this bike more marketable to people.

Also, Harley requested a patent for a water cooled TC motor last year, so more than likely this is it!

It looks like the one on the left has "hollywood" style bars.
