Rumors are, 107cu in, 4 valve per cylinder pushrod. New crank and valve train, liquid cooled but fully finned, and balance shafts.

I have it on good authority that the 2017 bikes will be solar-powered.

Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and Kawasaki did that about 20 yrs ago. Who's going to be doing it now?

That'll be great-we won't have to worry about the 'noise of the pipes'

Does that mean there will be no more threads from BigSister about his short shots? What will we do for entertainment?

I thought it was his short shorts and how his pipes were too hot to touch by hand

I have really been hoping for the electric bikes, just the distance before you need a charge is the biggest problem. But after talking to people in the know, Harley has solve the problem and they will be on the market in 17 but not until January maybe as late as March.

The fix was the charging and they have come up with cordless charging cord, plug the male into any household socket and the other end into the bikes harness That's it and ride as long as you like so long as you pay the electric company.

Can't wait!!!
