Im really quite surprised to see that the liquid cooling didn't get expanded to all the touring bikes. Kinda figured that was inevitable. Guess we know now that air cooling is gonna be around for a while still.
Just bought a 16 TG, I'm kind of leery of a new motor, I hope it's all good and no issues on the new ones. Maybe down the road I'll trade for a M8 TG.....they do look good

The way I understand the tech documents I've seen, the models that aren't water cooled, ARE oil cooled, right down to using the same coolant passages as the water cooled heads, fed by a higher capacity engine oil pump on the oil cooled models, and fed to an oil cooler and an extra capacity oil system.
So technically, they are liquid cooled.
I say whatever works. If they can get similar cooling, water or oil, to what my twin cooled 110" CVO has, it's a win for everyone.
I wasn't thrilled with the water cooling when it first came out, but now that I own one I wouldn't be without. My 110 runs cooler than even my old 88" Wide Glide did.

You and a crap load of Rushmore are trading in....The used bike market will look good for me....Hell, I sold my buddies Heritage with nothing but chrome for 10k....2010, 6662 miles....so many used bikes flooding the classified....It will hard to sell the Rushmore at asking price???
