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.
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.
automatic transmissions, reverse, self cleaning, adjustable floorboards, vastly improved gas mileage, 5 year/100k warranty, free HOG membership for as long as you own the bike with unlimited towing, complimentary detailing every 6 months, 20% discount on all accessories for first year, first 3 "k" services free....damn, i got to quit drinking this early in the morning!
and especially for the Dutch market:
clog shaped yellow floor boards, tulip vase on the handlebar, cooled cheese compartment.... can't wait; where do I put in an order ???
