This is all that I've seen that seems legit. I don't know if civilians can order them.

Nothing new was filed with the EPA or CARB and those update daily, the both show the CVO RR as the last filing. However I have seen bikes appear in the news before their filing hit as manufacturers do not need their certs before they show off what is coming

EPA - https://www.epa.gov/compliance-and-f...d-equipment#IC

CARB - https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/applications/...-duty-vehicles



So much AI slop on youtube today its becoming less and less a source of anything good

Affirmative, seems a good percentage of "new models" videos are of fake bikes.

I never understood all the annual hyperventilating and speculation about what bikes will be announced before they actually announce them.

Idea: keep yer **** together until they actually announce them, and at that time you can decide if you want to buy one.

100% of them are fake. The simple fact is, no fringe youtube channel with 138 subscribers is going to have a "scoop" on new bikes that Cycle World, Motorcycle.com, MotorcyclistOnline.com, or Revzilla's Common Tread don't have.

Ever since I have perused this site no one has ever said they want a new bike. All it ever is, what sucks. Or they have an antiquated twinkie they’re happy with. Nothing wrong with that, but even a jacked up one can’t touch an M8. Or better yet, folks don’t even have a bike. All though, to each their own, AIRL?

Watch the video in post #11. Convince me it's fake.
