I'm sure someone will complain that the MoCo never changes anything and someone will complain that they haven't rereleased a carbureted evo fxr, possibly the same person.

Won't say they don't change anything, but they don't currently make anything that makes me want a monthly payment.

A new FXR would be intriguing...

I like what I have. Not too crazy about their recent bikes. It will be interesting to see if the Milwaukee 8 is a Mustang or an Edsel.

Funny, I work with a guy that has an 8 year old Gold Wing, and he was just bitching about how Honda never changes anything...

Not as easy with the EFI.

I haven't heard the new "Bubblehead" yet.

Maybe the new CVO will play the potato-potato through the infotainment system? LoL
