He's right... I heard the very same thing from Doc when I took the Delorean to 88 Mphs. He said in 2014 people will carry telephones in their pockets, we'd have elected a black president to two consecutive terms and Harley's would have touch screen control panels and this crazy thing called a liquid-cooled internal combustion engine. It could happen...

[QUOTE=dougyf;11333577]This is from a source at the motor company who recently left to work for a competitor. The 2014 touring bikes will get a redesigned dash layout which will have a touch screen display. Water cooled is coming in 2015. Remember where you read this.[/QUOTE ] Well we'll see here pretty soon

"I’m not at liberty to tell you about new models—I’d lose my job!—but there are certain advantages to a liquid-cooled engine. We’re well aware of that. But there’s a certain visual about a Harley-Davidson that’s recognized and really loved and embraced by a lot of people. We want to maintain that look. The V-Rod doesn't need fins. That engine could look like a water pump. But, no! It’s a beautiful engine, right? If you’re going to transition, it should be something that still visually connects; you can’t go from round to square. A radiator is a very difficult thing to design around, but we faired it in on that V-Rod, so it’s a fairly nice shape. As designers, we can probably handle either direction, but we just need to be very cautious."-Willie Davidson
Doesn't sound like a "definitely NOT" to me. The Dealers meeting is going to be interesting
