Is it true?!?!?
The 2012 HD touring bikes will ALL come with 103cid engines?
The model year AFTER I buy my Road Glide they come out with standard 103's!
Isn't this always the case?
There is always a better sale the week after you buy something new.
Too much whine?

To be fair though, this isn't just an HD thing.
Anybody that manufacturers anything does this with every passing year.
If you wait for something to be "perfected", you'd never buy anything.
When I bought my 07 I was happy I waited because the engine and tranny changed. Then in 08 they enlarged the tank and went to TBW, no big deal. In 09 they changed the frame, big difference, but I decided it still wasn't enough to make me change bikes, until I rode one. I took the bike on a true test ride, going well over the posted speeds and doing things you don't normally do on most rides period, I was hooked. I bought my 10 RGC, I didn't want to wait until 11 because of rumors they were going to discontinue the RG, then not only do they make the RG, but make an Ultra and with a 103. Moral of the story, ride and enjoy, something new will always come along, when its a big enough change, then get a new bike, but don't spend time worrying about it.

My 08 Roadglide had the 96 now I have a 11 limited with the 103.It's nice. Not that much difference in power.I was getting about 43mpg on the 96,now I get about 39.So at least you'll get a little better mpg.
