I've been told by 2 different dealers that the '13's will not be released until after Sturgis this year. They have always been previewed during the rally, but not this year. The dealers will be the first to see them a week or 2 after the rally. At least that's the scoop I've heard.

Maybe there's too much unsold inventory.

I've heard that they changed the Batwing styling to look more like a Polaris Victory ! because the RG styling looks so much like a Honda Goldwing ! ..........

Just a guess, but it's as good an explanation as any!

Talking Just a rumor - but it might be true.

I heard from a friend who has a nephew that has a third-cousin at the MOCO that they're gonna attempt to install a charging system that works for more than 1000 miles on brand new bikes.

Maybe overly ambitious, but stranger things have happened!

I predict they will be almost identical to the 2012s with some different color options.
