I was having a conversation with a proctologist that knows a guy named Jack at Harley. He said the new RG will have a 1650cc Revolution engine that is in the final stages of testing. He also said the new CVO RG will have an 1800cc version of the Revolution engine. The CVO RG will have to come with a 240 rear tire because of all the power the engine makes. It completely obsoletes the SE120 engine and will blow your mind.

I told him he doesn't know Jack $hit. He told me I was wrong.

Probably best not to argue with someone when they have their finger up your ***.

my sources at the test track, tell me the 2015 RG will have the new 4.3 infotainment center(upgradable to the 6.5), two gauges, oil pressure and volt meter. the tank will be a RK tank, with the fuel gauge in the tank, the 120 ST (street) motor with 255 cams will be stock and it will be air cooled, with an oil cooler and will include the larger SE oil pan increasing capacity to just under 5 qts. It will utilize the new 49 MM front forks.

it will carry the 18/16 combination wheel and tire package. It will be rated out of the box at 110/120 and will carry the standard 2 year warranty.

they tell me they have been running this package for about 3 months and that the main hold up in getting it to the dealers, is waiting for the twin cooled bikes to sell through so they are reintroduce the RG to convince early adopters of twin cooled batwing bikes to trade yet again for the fixed faring RG with the 120.

AS indicated by the big smiles on their faces. This is one Bad A$$ bike and it will put the bat wing crowd in line waiting to purchase a RG.

IT will also confirm the RG owners have been right all along, the RG is the best bike HD makes.

I am only responsible for what i believe, you should believe what you want.

I can't name, names at this time, but if you send me $100. cash I'll give you all there names, but you can't tell anyone.

I know it's just your guess, but what EPA laws are you guys talking about? EPA dosen't have any laws (now or future) that ALL of Harleys engines aren't already meeting. The only possibility I could see is something like the state of California coming up with their own laws. But EPA wise, Harley is there.

I agree with others, if the new RG isn't a wethead yet, it's coming soon.

Well count me in. I can stomach a RG if it has a 120 in it.
