It's gonna be a standard FatBoy with the 1800cc 110ci Liquid-Cooled Engine! And it's going to be a Hybrid to make it more eco-friendly! I said it first! Let the rumors proceed! (making this up, btw)

I've heard the rumors of watercooled engines but don't really understand why HD would change the thing that is most associated with them and that's the gnarly, vibrating sound and feel of their proprietary V-Twin engine. I mean, yeah they run hot and yeah they run rough, but isn't that why we ride Harley's in the first place and not... Hondas?

Also, Harley requested a patent for a water cooled TC motor last year, so more than likely this is it!
