The dealers know what the new colors are going to be and what models will be discontinued. As far as anything else, they don't know jack squat until the annual dealer sales meeting opens up and the new website goes live, just like the rest of us peons.

One thing is for sure. The new bikes for 2014 will damn sure run hotter, if that can possibly be. I don't know how many people I have run into that have 2013 bikes and they all squeal like a pig under a gate because of hot nads, thighs, legs and feet. Some people are just more sensitive to heat than others I guess.

I can just see it now....if the water cooled models come out....some ***** will start a thread on "What kind of radiator coolant is the best?".... or "What does a dealer charge for a radiator flush?"....or "I changed my radiator fluid and now I have a leak"... or "My radiator is making a strange noise"...or "How do I clean the bugs out of my radiator?"... or my favorite..."What kind of aftermarket radiator is best?" (of course this assumes that the HD radiator will be a chinese made piece of **** and the innovative vendors/inventors here in the US will design something bigger, better, and superior). I would say "remember where you read this" but I won't even remember I wrote it tomorrow.

You almost had me but the you went to far with the shaft drive.
As a RGU rider and on my 3rd RG I will be waiting to see what happens with it.
May have to keep the 2013 longer than I had planned.

After hitting nothing but rain on a trip down the BRP the other week, I'm hoping they start installing a rag top on the touring models. Will need wiper to go with it and a defogger.
