If it doesn't sound, look and vibrate like mine then NO!

IF Harley is able to keep the bikes lines and style close to what we are used to I would buy one. I would love to have a V-rod type engine in a streetglide.

Nope, I'd buy another Goldwing 1800 if I need watercooling. I like the rumble, shake, vibration, heat, 45-degree, clatter, clunk, and all the other interesting "quirks' that make my Harley ownership fun and interesting....................I gave up BORING when I chose HD.

A bagger ? in a heartbeat. Cooler running and if HDMOCO don't F it up more power and torque.

Vrod smaller engine puts out more torque and HP stock ,than most of your all's modified 2007 baggers

ORIGINAL: jmacdonald5...personally I never thought I would want to buy a H2o-Glide, but if it means 110HP and Torque out of the box...sign me up..
Yep. Oh, and I like the moniker 'H2O-Glide'......I will probably steal that from ya....

I'm waiting for The MoCo to build that water cooled touring engine. And put a bigger gas tank on the dang touring bikes...Jeez, how about a seven gallon tank? It wouldn't be that much larger, and I really hate stopping for gas every two and a half hours when I'm running the interstates.

Actually, I'd really like to see a water cooled, EFI,OHC 1.6L, V-4...Engineered and built in Milwaukee USA. 120hp/150tq stock. I think it's time for The MoCo to 'create' a new Harley sound. Two up touring, towing a trailer, loaded with gear, headwinds, passing semis while riding over the mountains...No problem.

Would buy one. Make mine with ABS brakes and adjustable windshield and I would be a happy man.

I will not buy a liquid-cooled motorcycle of any brand.

Sure, but not the first year of them. I'd wait a year or two to work the bugs out. The idea of a bigger gas tank is a good one. Especialy on a tour bike.

And in my opinion, leave the V-rod alone, modify the jugs and heads add a curculation system and radiator, same harley sound, same look (with lowers) and loads more power..
Heat is the killer of power, get rid of the heat, (controled) and you'll be surprised at the power gain..

We're slowly turning Harleys into Honda Shadows. Hell No! I buyHD because it is an HD. If I wanted something else, I would buy a BMW RT!
