For 2015, I would expect the entire touring-frame lineup to get water cooling.

I wouldn't be surprised to see at least _one_ of the Dynas or Softails get a water-cooled motor, as well.

Within 5-7 years, I would expect 100% of the HD product lineup to be water-cooled.

Agreed, but I'd give it three or for years. It will be easy to hang radiators on the Hogs but it's gonna be tougher with the Dynas and Sportys. Anyone who wants a "skinny" Harley, had better buy it soon.

The 2015 Touring Models will have reverse, a la Gold Wing.

I heard from several sources that seen it on Facebook and Twitter that an automatic transmission is in the works to attract younger riders that cannot drive manual transmissions.
The Auto is also for the aging Harley riders that may forget to shift.
