Might be dis-information to keep the competition guessing.
There's also this year old article about a watercooled Sportster seen being tested.

One of the EPA links is dead, but the other one pops up.

Note the hp is higher than the torque on these monsters, like the VRod engine.

I don't know why you would want to wait. The first model year is ALWAYS the best year.

HD will have water cooled bikes in the line in 09 - 10.
A little bird told me.
I will wait till 2012 and trade.

cderider, the EPA document appears to be legit. I backed off the url to http://www.epa.gov/otaq/
and was still able to click on links on each page, and finally arrive at a page containing the testing for various bikes, including Honda, Polaris, and these engines.
But when you get to this page:
http://www.epa.gov/otaq/roadbike.htm
note thatthey were prepared for a "workshop" on EPA regs, so the engines themselvesmay be totally bogus !
I think we've been had!

The site that "rjrivero" has in his sig, http://www.1130cc.com/ is interesting. I was just there the other day researching the Terminal Velocity II. Seems the vrods finally went closed-loop for '08 and folks are really complaining about the heat they're putting out now. I even saw mention of burnt bluejeans.
