All I can say is, blah blah blah. HD is gonna keep feeding you tidbits to get you to upgrade every year. That's their gig and it appears to be effective.

The Softail line has been struggling for sometime.

This in my opinion means that larger motors are in the works for the touring or Dyna models or other models in the near future.

The bigger question is when?

Agreed. Just like the 6 speed was introduced in the Dyna's a year or so before it became standard on all lines.

He's talking about non-touring. Dynas and Softtails.

I get it now. Sorry about that. Honestly though, cruise is not going to get me to buy a bike. I have it on my CVO King and never use it. A stronger motor than the 103, especially in the Softails, would be welcome. The balanced motors are always a little weaker. I had a Heritage with the 96 and that thing was very slow. Comfortable, and reliable as any bike I've ever owned including Hondas, but slow.

That's a bad thing? Every fortune 500 company does the same thing. Well except Yamaha I guess.
