Default No changes in 2010

Spent some time talking with a HD salesman today. His exact words were, "2009 was the year of substantial changes for the HD line especially the touring bikes. The only changes in 2010 will be color choices." He also said the "V-rod sales were way off from last year." This was at Latus Motors in Portland, Oregon which is the largest dealer in the Northwest.

I know it will be a few weeks before we find out for sure. Just thought I'd throw it out for discussion. For once, i tend to agree with this salesman.

I'm guessing a CVO Streetglide is offered. My crystal ball also sees a blacked out touring bike. Other than that, same ol' same ol'.

What about the new frame to replace all the obsolete 09's with the hairline cracks?
