Also, does anyone know what the 2018 colors will be? I hope Harley keeps Vivid black.

i heard the 18 models will have the 124 engine in them, along with a seven speed overdrive trans. three sparkplugs per cylinder and six valves per head. 200mm rear tire along with over the top radio. i don't think you even have to touch the handlebars anylonger, just like the tesla.

They'll be announced 24 years after the 1994 models were announced.

Saw a 2116 model on another thread. They haven't changed much in another hundred years so I wouldn't expect any surprises.

Such a disappointment?!? An eight valve single cam engine which promises to be a pretty big step ahead is a disappointment?


What exactly do you guys want from Harley? Seriously, what would you actually have wanted to see in the 2017 lineup?


Me personally, I would love to see Harley come out with new bike designs that step out of their current customer base's comfort zone. But as that would be a financial failure and they are only going to build cruisers I cant really see any holes in the lineup.
