Didn't this same thing happen a few years back concerning going to water cooled? I'll believe it when I see it.

I got some advice for the advisory board. Do away with the 96" Make them all 103" have the 110" as the limited and the 120" stock in the CVO. Now were talking

I have some advice for them too. Stop making these changes and driving the resale of the so called Limited's into the dirt. I bought an 11 Limited which we all know has the 103 in it. If they make the 103 standard on the 2012 bikes what do you think that is going to do to the resale of my Limited. Pisses me off when you think you have a limited production machine then they do this kind of crap.

I hear where you are coming from and this isn't intended as a rip on you, but I didn't buy my Limited to sell so the resale doesn't bother me so much... just sayin'

Interesting to note, the BMW Boxer engines are going water cooled to handle the EURO 4 emissions. I fail to see how HD can continue to sell air cooled bikes to EU and handle emissions if BMW can't do it.

I didn't buy mine for the resale value either but it's kind of a slap in the face when we buy what we think is a special limited bike then the next year it's all standard.
