Smile Where's the 2010 MADNESS

I can't believe it's almost March 2009 and nobody is posting what's new for 2010. Is everyone that happy with the 2009's. I guess the MOCO doesn't have to change anything this year. I wish they would give the Brembo's to the Softy family with only one brake up front anyway. I do like what they did for 2009, How are they going to top that. Well it's time let the 2010 Madness begin.

Tom

Now that is Funny

The two largest Dealers here in KC said they had record Decembers. And 2009's are flying out of there shops. It's still cold here so I say BS. But I hope there are moving well. Tom

Well they could still come out with a few more " Sportswear " models Or maybe some more totally dysfunctional machines.

They are surely in a niche market, not the mainstream anymore.

Then again , maybe, just maybe they will up their stock motors to 110 and put some pizazz into their products. , but a pizza is more like it!

I don't think there will be any changes to the Touring line other than colors. We might see a Road King Night Custom. I would expect brembos on the softails and dynas. They will probably take the throttle by wire to the other families also. I would expect the 240 rear fender and set up on the SE Springer to come out on a return of the FXSTS to the softail lineup. I doubt you will see an major changes to the TC96 or the tranny. Its always fun to speculate and see what the changes are in the new model year.

I think there are a couple of factors. One everyone is scared sh*tless about the economy, and Two it is kind of a hard year to speculate. With Harley coming into 2010 required to meet specific EPA standards, I would expect some of the touring line to be water cooled. But who knows... I am a dipsh*t.

Hum I bought my 08 new and the 09's were not even out yet and I have only owned it for eight months so I don't think it is fair to talk about 2010's yet.
