Like in 2009 when dealers were told to unload their Road Glide's since the FLTR was being discontinued. People were saying that was the end for the bike. Then we got the cooler looking FLTRX in '10.

We hear this every year and every year we get a different paint job and a new tank badge and that's about it.

Plenty of aftermarket suppliers for air cooled stuff so not even a concern for this cat.Hope you guys that want watercooling get your wish.

By then, EVERYONE will be trying to dump their old a/c models. Prices for your used bike will fall off a cliff.

Do yourself a favor and take it from me. SELL NOW! The 2014s will be water cooled. I have it on solid inside intel. You can trust me. Sell, sell, sell....

Uh.....boys....I think this was an attempt at humor?

Ain't seen one yet - ain't gonna'.

With a sharp eye, they can be seen in Milwaukee on some of their police bikes. Makes a little different sound also.

So after living in the mountains for a while, I've gotten pretty good at deciphering hillbilly, but I still can't follow South Georgia. Can anybody translate this post for me?

I have no idea as to what he was trying to say in the first line. I think the rest just says he's from South Georgia.

HD already has a very strong water-cooled motor in the revo that is in the vrod. It would be easy for the moco to just start putting that motor in other bikes in their lineup. Bone stock that motor puts out 100+ hp and they are pretty bulletproof. Put in a couple of grand and you can have 130+ hp at the ground. Let see how much hp your air-cooled bikes make with just 2k put in them. The revo will be the future of HD. Why because its a better motor. I've seen some with well over 200,000 miles and still running strong.

I'll take a crack at it. I believe he is saying he has no standards, likes to ride old stuff and has no real expectations of quality in life.

Got it. Thanks for the assist.

TBH It would be refreshing for HD to move into the technology of the 1980's but I would not hold your breath.
Like most others have said ... HD will change paint, rims and a seat then say its something new and revolutionary ...
