Wait for the 2013 model. 12's will be water cooled, the '13's will address most of the early "glitches".
....... AND ..... the 2013, '110th Anniversary' models will come std w/a 110" !!
... no, really! ......... and if i'm wrong, well heck, beers are on me, 1st week in August, 2012
What's this "riding season" people keep referring to? LOL!
Not sure what changes are in store for the 2011 models, but be assured it will cost more... I say, bite the bullet and get the 2010 - there is always something newer / better coming out. Personally, I would go with whatever is the best deal... also, don't rule out late model low mile used bikes either - again, look for the best deal.
Good luck with your decision, and hope you find the deal on your new bike soon!
Think back five years ago when you went to the grocery store and they asked you "paper or plastic". Now, they don't ask, they just give you plastic.
So you are comtemplating a new Harley for 2011, are you? The question you "might" ask yourself is: do you want "aircooled" or "waterjacketed". 2010 might be the last aircooled engines before the inevitable takes place. Thank You Mr. EPA!
