Default 2011??
When can we expect to see the 2011 bikes? Or at least when should we hear what has been done?

The 2011 models will be announced/shown at Sturgis in August like always.

If Harley follows the last few years trend they will introduce them at the summer dealer meeting which usually takes place in late July. Is it Nashville this year? Not sure.

My inside source tells me they will be out before the 2012 models.

I have it on good authority that all the 2011 bikes will be available in at least vivid black.

I have no idea what the changes might be. I do know they have really worked on the touring and Dyna line. The V Rod needs a change for sure. That engine would make a great sport touring mount but in a different frame. The engine should not be detured as so many generic brands do when copying Harley. The V Rod has an excellent engine now but needs a larger gas tank thus a different frame. We have all seen the mods with putting a Road Glide fairing on the V Rod and it looks great. Also needing an up date is the Sportster line. There the Buell performance V twin engine could find a home like the XR1200 did. More performance and maybe a bagger. Fossil

With the addition of the Nightster, Iron, XR1200, and the Forty-Eight, I doubt there will be any changes in the Sportster line-up for 2011.

But, there could be. You just never know.

I have it on good authority that the new line-up will have two of almost everything.
