So who thinks the 103 inch displacement is as big as the motors in the standard bikes are going to be for a while? I noticed for 2014-15, rather than go any larger, they went "HO". So does that mean for the standard non-CVO bikes, the engines are as big as we can expect for a while. Just kind of wondering.

 

My guess is they'll stay 103" for a few more years, then do a year or two of 110" in the touring bikes, then come out with a replacement for the Twin Cam motor in about 5 years. I have no basis for this, just my guess.

 

I heard that the new motor is going to be a v6 twin turbo'd 4 valve, 4 cam model, with about 400 hp!!!




(lets start the rumors right now!!)

 

i would assume in a few years when 110 becomes standard then they will have a SE 120. but that is if i had to guess. no fact behind that lol

 

+1 above 103 for couple of years then 110 for a couple more years then a whole new motor.

 

Now that they are starting the water cooled who knows .

 

New HD engines will be Green and eco friendly. Look for liquid cooling, direct injection, near zero emissions, high mpg and Hybrid technology. The Streets are almost there.
The V-Rod was intended as a "bridge" engine to get stoic diehards to switch from their dirty and politically incorrect Twin Cams. I wish I was joking but our government is changing HD..

 

Yeah, thats kind of what I was thinking. Probablly 3-5 more years of 103. Which is cool. I would like my 2013 to have whatever the largest displacement is, at least for a while. Heck, maybe till I even pay it off! But like you guys, I think there just will come a point where the MOCO redesigns the engine. We are already almost 16 years into the twin cam. Something new MUST be in the works.

 

seriously, I think some type of overhead cam, and multiple valves, with water cooling, you would be able to meet the epa standards.. obviously the revolution motor is there, just need a bigger version, my guess is stroke it for more torque. thats my prediction

 

If the intention of the V-ROD was to bridge people over.. its failed miserably.
