Default New Model Year Changes

OK, I know rumors are flying every where this time of year. But does anyone know when HD comes out with an official announcement? I'm looking at an 09 Ultra, but a dealer I was talking to said that the '10 Ultra will have a reverse gear option. No more watching where you park and struggling to get your bike out. I'm getting too old for that and the reverse gear option sounds mighty interesting! So I'm debating whether to wait for the '10 since it won't be long now.

I recently HEARD a rumor from a co-worker of the wife's.
HD is going to replace some models with Water cooled engines....
But like I said, it is just a rumor.
Can't find anything on a internet search about 2010 models

That's been the annual rumor since 1971.
