as far as the poll goes, i vote "D" none of the above. i'm old enough to where my 08 streetglide will be the last bike i buy, and i plan on keeping it. if i get the urge for a spaz attack i've got a zrx-12 R eddie lawson replica with 5k miles on it.

 

the new baggers just run to hot. don't think hd will have much of a choise but to go to liquid cooled engines. gotta be more comfortable in stop n go traffic. my 09 rk has hit oil temps of 285 in traffic. thats to hot for me

 

NEVER
i restore my old bike when the engines are liquid cooled!!!!!!

 

I don't want more weight or coolant leak's or be stranded because I have a puddle of coolant under the bike when a hose deteriorates. I've heard that once you go to a liquid cooled you'll wish the hell you hadn't !!

 

I don't know if I can imagine a nice touring Harley with a big radiator on the front :/

 

30 years ago they watercooled dirt bikes. The engines now are far more powerful and reliable. Who wouldn't like that?

I could care less how the engine is cooled. Pitooey on 'nostalgia'. Just RIDE!

 

I'm Old School. Air cooled or nutin!

 

Everyone with a 09 or 10 touring bike look at your frame.There are unused bolt holes there.Now go look at a vrod motor.The bolt holes are perfect to put the vrod motor in the touring chasis.The only thing the vrod lacks is the tourqe.Or should I say enough tourqe to put in the touring chassis.They have worked on the vrod motor to get more tourqe.

 

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The results surprises me a little.
