Default Great news about the new 2011's

this is my take from what i've seen so far in the new 2011's. it gives us a whole year to wait for some real changes for 2012.

I think the 103 option is a step in the right direction, but should have been standard on the Touring models like some of the rumors we heard. Just a matter of time until the 96 gets replaced with the 103 in the Touring line.

I have no regrets on my '10 SG purchase in May. I've already converted to a dual exhaust.

The MoCo can't win with some folks. If they had made "real" changes for the '11 model year (such as liquid cooling for all bikes, 110s for all Touring bikes, etc...) people would bitch that they're not honoring their heritage and are succumbing to the wiles of the RUBs and the part-time biker types... I think H-D is doing a pretty good job of updating their unique product line and keeping the majority of their dedicated customer base happy while still managing to attract new ones. Sweeping change at the MoCo would be certain death...

I'm content with my 2010 SG. Little pissed they went back to duals and I got stuck with the one year of the single pipe. But the 2011 duals have a CAT as well, so they'll still need to be replaced.....

The CVOs are pretty stunning for 2011 though.....

And I like how the Fat Boy got rid of the ugly paint job and recieved the tank medallion from the Fat Boy Lo.

Great news about my '010; it's paid for, and thankfully, nothing in the 2011 line-up will make me want to change that.

Yeah, and a nice price increase as well.

Just put a 103 kit in your 2010 and you have the same thing. Then instead of running the 1/4 mile in 14.2 you'll be able to do it in maybe 14 flat.
