I thought they did a lot of their testing in Alabama at Talladega believe it or not ? I know years back they did.

 

Cool. At this rate by 2020 they will have a 124 and be worth riding.

 

Let's see ............ Air cooled right ? The bigger the engine the hotter it'll run. That's more heat on my legs in the hot TX sun. I don't need that. The older I become, the less heat tolerant I am. If, H-D does in fact increase the engine size across the touring line the greater the odds we will eventually see a water cooled engine with faux cooling fins similar to what the Japanese have on their V-twins.

 

They're actually closing the test facility here in AL.

 

Didn't anyone look at the timing? Isn't it a little late to be testing at the track a bike that is going to be released this summer? Doesn't add up.

 

Just can't figure what's to test unless it's unrelated to the engine size (since the 103's been around awhile now). I don't imagine any enhancements over the 2010 in the touring line that will require testing. Still -we'll see.

 

Resistance to seat farts imho .......................

 

My 2010 SG has a 103 but it cost me an extra $2400 to get it. It also is my luck if it's true, my 06 RK was an 88 and I had to pay to get it to 95. The next year 95 was standard. I am glad that at least whining is still free.

 

Exactly why I quit modding my engines !

 

Well there is that - maybe they've figured our a capture mechanism under the latest saddle (2011 version of course) to feed the methane into the throttle body and thereby get a better EPA score.
