Issue: Predicting what the 2016 Harley will look like

Imaginations run wild predicting what the 2016 Harley will look like when it is announced.

Some users discuss:
-What type of fuel will it use
-What kind of oil you will need to put in it
-What colors will it come in
-Even if it will include an option for a flux capacitor

That sounds nice and all but raises a very important question:

What oil to use? Dino or synthetic? What brand? Different oil for all three holes?

You know even though this is a 9 near old thread, its hell of interesting to me from a historic point of view. I mean guys were predicting a few things (outside from the silly ****). One guy said Harley would be on the TC88 1/2 by 2016. then there was one guy who commented about liquid cooling. Yeah for the most part the thread is silly as hell, but its sometimes interesting to see what people are thinking about the future designs.

8 years late, but geek card revoked. Everyone knows its 88 mph, not 85.

Kinda interesting. This started a few months before the 96" was introduced??
Water cooling wasnt a heated discussion and no one is predicting the bagger rage to come. Damn sure dont think they knew the big front wheels would be so ugly.
