Default I know the FLXXX!!!!!!

Everyone has been itching about the FLXXX but the sad thing is we should already know what it is. I would put money this is the Roady V-Rod. That makes the best sense of anything. There have been several people say they have already seen it and it would serve two purpose. A test of how well water cooled would sell in the Touring family (hope they used a six speed) and to give those that want more umffff without the CVO pricetag. I've been wrong before but hope I'm not on this.

It sure is a fine guess. I'll bet you are right.

More umf? The v-rod only delivers 75 ft/lbs of torque at 7000rpm. Not exactly what most vtwin riders are looking for...especially on a tourer.

I wouldn't mind seeing a blacked out street glide with a modified vrod power plant putting out somewhere around 85ftlb/120hp

I hate the trike idea.

I think the FLXXX will be a dark custom.

I agree sort of, but if you do a stage one your really going to move and could possibly change the max torque to around 4500 instead.

I've been fantasizing about a V-Rod engine that's been stroked to 1300-1400cc's and de-tuned for touring. That might be just the ticket.
