Default Cal EPA 2017 bikes..

So this is very underwhelming, no Sport Glide just new engines in the Touring line as we knew it would be.

Enjoy that read and big thanks to member agueybana for the link it's his hard work.

Default Valve Count?

Thanks for the link. I followed it and looked at the document "217-mc-ctrr-1.xls". It was the first "motorcycle" listing from the base EPA web site. Opening that document and looking a row number 55 shows what I think is a "new" (column "J") engine showing displacements of 1746cc (106.5ci) and 1868cc (113.95ci). There is also a "new" engine at row #47 (a new Sportster engine perhaps) but that engine displaces 1200cc (73.2ci). Anyway, if you look at column "N", which lists the number of valves per cylinder for both of these engine types, it shows "2". So, I'm wondering, I know all the rumors have been saying that these new engines are 4 valves per cylinder but at least from what I'm reading in this document they are showing two valves per cylinder. So would someone else have a look at what I'm describing and either verify it or point out the error of my ways. Thanks.

it's just the certified models as of the report's publishing. it doesn't mean models can't continue to be certified; they just have to achieve certification before they're offered for sale. The Roadster is on the latest revision of the 2016 model year table, even though it only came out a couple of months ago.
