Default Revolution Motor

Sombody told me that HD was coming out with a water-cooled Revolution motor next year and that HD would then stop making air-cooled engines. Anybody know if this is truth or rumor?

That was supposed to be the rumor for this year (the 07's)

I doubt it. The reason being was originally because of the tighter EPA standards I believe.

I heard it would be phased. Supposed to be a touring bike based on the V-Rod motor. Then ... who knows ... depends on the pollution police.

No body has an answer, but I have heard that the motor in the V-Rods is going to be the standard in the future when the EPA crackdown finally hits the Moco.

Absolutely true, I saw a Streetglide with a thinly disguised V-ROD powerplant. I followed, and when the chick stopped, I put a chokehold on her...she cracked and told me what I needed to know!

Total BS. HD would not invest so much on the TC 96 to just scrap it the following year.

I dont think that will come as soon as next year but I do think it will eventually happen. Some rumors that I have heard make 2010 the year they start making those kind of changes. We'll just have to wait and see. The Moco never tells us what they are gonna do until its time to do it.
