Watercooled Performance Engine
It seems to me that the MoCo has reached their limit with air cooled engines and they just run too hot. I will not purchase another Harley until the extreme heat issue is a non-factor. That's my $0.02.

No I DO NOT want a Goldwing, I am hoping that Harley doesn't stand around and watch other companies implement new technologies into their bikes because they don't want to hurt the "old time" Harley guys.
It is time for Harley to step up, move on and to make a bike that rivals the competition. Every time someone says they want more from the MOCO people tell them to get a Goldwing. I want a Harley that Wing owners tell other Wingers to get a Harley.

Why, why, why? Why do you guys want a liquid cooled machine?
What you have is plenty of power. Why do you need to accelerate any quicker than the current HD does?
I don't get it. If you want this, there are plenty of options out there.

I don't know how many folks noticed this, but I just priced a 2010 RG and found out that in order to get one that has ABS and color and Cruise control, I would have to pay well over 21k. I got all that on my 08 RG plus a thousand dollars worth of add-ons for 18k. I think that the MOCO is going the wrong direction given the economy. I guess they want to make the same money on a lot fewer bikes.

Yes I have to agree myself. It is time for a “Watercooled Performance Engine”
