&nbsp\\; Sorry as I retract my last statement of the 09's might be watercooled.&nbsp\\; I will throw out my new info and say they are not.&nbsp\\; They will be radically different, but I am hearing no anti-freeze.&nbsp\\; We will see in 5 days.&nbsp\\; Will let you know when I do.

I have heard that the Touring models will have new and improved frames, eliminating the need to buy after-market swing arm fixes.

I have been thinking about getting a tru-trak device.&nbsp\\; I guess if they do change the frame to address this issue, it tells me I probably need to go ahead and install one on my bike.

&nbsp\\; If you think you can get a good deal now, wait until after the 22nd.&nbsp\\; I'll bet the deal will get better.

Gutman,

My bet is a fall or mid year release. Ease them into the line and treat them as an OPTION to the normal line up for a few years. Any insight?
