I heard there will be an addition to the trike lineup.

They are going to add a fourth wheel and an optional all around plastic cover.
Rumour has it it will be called the SMARTBIKE

I heard that as well....from the same (but now disguised) reliable source. The former flagship of the Dyna family was inadvertently reintroduced a year to early. It will go away for one more year to remove more factory chrome.

I really should not let this top secret tidbit go public, but I can't hold back any longer. The MoCo. HAS developed yet another shade of
black....Flourescent Black. This special paint option is capable of looking black in the light as well as in the dark!!

And NO I will not reveal my sources

I heard from my girlfriend's gynecologist's brother's friend, who works at a Kubota Tractor dealer, that they are streamlining the Dyna lineup and coming out with the Wide Bob. Skinny rear tire with a fat front, "Drag-Apes" (whatever those are), and the same stock exhaust as an Super Glide.

He also said John Deere is in prelim talks to buy out 51% of the MoCo and are looking into manufacturing artificial Christmas trees that are pre-lit with orange and yellow lights and play sounds at the top of every hour.

I read an online article that stated, Harley-Davidson visits this particular HD relate website and had been quoted as saying, "I can't believe these guys actually buy our scoots."

I also heard this, but I heard it was a "New" Black, to slot between 'Vivid Black' and 'Denim Black', and it's called 'Vivim Black'
