H-D has not put the money into engineering a proper air cooled engine that will run with the guidelines.

How can Victory, Indian, Yamaha, Ural, and Ducati still produce and sell air cooled engines?

My son is going to school at MMI and he called me about 6 weeks ago and they told him that they would be out for 2015. Just don't know what a Harley will look like with all that **** up front will look like.

I mean yes, HD can keep it under wraps for a while, but water cooled CVO's would require a bit of training and as of yet nothing
Nobody has said that what's announced on the 19th will be shipping immediately. It's possible that tech training will happen between the time of the announcement and shipment to dealers.

The new 111" is nothing more than an S&S motor reworked!!

You mean like Harley's original V-Twin was just a rework of the original Indian V-Twin?

While i was riding today I stopped at a dealer that is having a kickoff party showing the new 14's early next week. I saw a FLHTK being transported in by forklift off of the truck. After reading your post and the rumors I've heard too. Shocking!

Might be a good thing. One thing about a big air cooled twin, they tend to bake your thighs on a hot day. Not to mention getting stuck in a 10 mile backup in July!
