anyone heard of any HD techs being sent for training lately?

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
Harley mechanics are trained? when did they start that?

Bunch of trolls. I knew the stories were true. Too many bridges for there not to be trolls.

I heard they are putting in diesels. They wanted quieter motors.

I heard they'll just hire Honda techs

When HD hired Porsche to help with the 1st design...didn't they come up with a V-twin and a V-4 engine? I believe they were water cooled. Sorta fugly. The V Rod was the end results after ***** G. redesigned the Porsche frame and body and the engine appearance. So if HD wanted to they have everything but money to make it happen. I don't think the stock holders will be willing to spend their dividends on a completely new engine, again. V Rod engine was a failure as far as money in, money out. And also, will the bagger nation buy them? At any cost. I don't think the V Rod engine has enough juice in it for the high torque baggers folks.

I heard liquid cooled 500 cc entry level bike I wish my bike was liquid cooled as hot as it runs. The temps are dropping up here so it's not as bad now.

I believe it is getting pretty deep in here and my riding boots are in serious danger of being overflowed with it!
