I predict more chromed plastic parts that cost more the chromed steel parts. More computer controlled stuff, making the motor taper proof. Welded on exhaust systems, also tamper proof. And the choice of any color you want as long as it's Vivid black.,,
Ouch, that would hurt.
What would we do in the winter time if we cannot tamper with it?
Ok,, I hadn't heard that yet,, how in the hell does that work? Wouldn't they have to KEEP YOU ON the bike for it to do any good? And what does it do,, pop up out of the seat all around you and wrap you up to protect you? :P

As best I can tell from the picture the rider goes down the road chewing Bazooka Joe and if they are going to crash they blow a really big bubble - oh and the center stand automatically deploys.
Why? If you have much experience riding, reaching for the front while using the foot on the rear is pretty much reflex,,,, .
I agree but at the same time presumably Harley would profit from making their bikes as easy as possible to ride for the novice. I know several people who would like a bike but the threshold to learn to ride on eis just too daunting - not to mention the embarassment factor of showing up at a dealer without sufficient skills. In a perfect dealer world Harleys would be so easy to ride that anyone could do it and not cut their teeth on mopeds and rice burners.
This is one of the reason's I like this forum. I can keep up with what's going on. If HD get's too crazy in the future and UltraKla$$ic decides to buy one, I would like to buy his scoot if it hasn't welded itself to the jack it's sitting on...
I'm just psyched that I've got an air cooled Harley. I see liquid cooling in the future as a matter of course, and that's a long way from the tradition I wanted in on. My bike ran as hot as a pistol stock, and I don't see how liquid cooling can be avoided.
Sure it's an air cooled tractor.
But it's MY air cooled tractor, and that's all I need to know.

i think we would be able to buy exhaust systems that have adjustable sound levels... When i get close to my garage I switch the bike off around 100 yards away and glide in so as not to wake up my kids... with adjustable exhaust sound level this can be fixed
