Think I will hold out for the 2020 models. That plasma drive is supposed to be one heck of a hill puller.

Now your just being silly. everyone knows we will be out of oil by then. The 2020 models will have electric motors. Of course the MOCO will be selling screaming eagle batteries...

I heard that a HD employee said that the really cool stuff is due out in '08. He was asked, "Don't you mean '07, a 96 motor and 6 speed is really good?" He responded, "No I mean '08 the really cool stuff is due out in '08."



[color=#0000CC] Why would you post a statement with no substance? Seems like women gossip to me. Really cool stuff! Right! Like an air conditioner?

Please, post informative and useful information rather than rumor and unconfirmed rubbish.

Basically, you know nothing. Please get back to us when you obtain useful information.

Bad post? Look at how many people commented on this post!

As for me, I'll take the bird in hand vs the one yet to come.

I think that I will keep my First Year Collectors Item. 06 SG with the last of the 88's.

Someone told me all 09's (YES i said 2009) are going to have a nitro button by the left grip that will instantly push you to 120/120... and the guy said a fire ball will shoot out of the left exhaust on the baggers (guess we'll see)

Just a rumor but I cant wait

Right on, kp.

Rubbish. Why in the world would an employee of any company like this essentially tell you to hold out and not buy this year's model? I'll worry about the future models...sometime in the future.

Harley is just slow to the race, My son works for HD and the 96' has been being tested at the taladega testing track for the past two years, if they had known 3 years ago when they dreamed up the change for 07 that the metrics would have already poped out a suzuki 109, and yami 113, bet they would have opted to put the 103 in all of them instead.
