Default When's the new "Bumphead" motor going to hit the floors?
We've all heard about them and lots of us saw the pics- when's the dealer meeting and how long after until this thing hits the dealerships? Not that I can afford a new bike, but I'm curious...

"Bubblehead" sounds good. Also the nickname for submariners in the US Navy...
