Anyone heard anything about the 2017 Street Glide yet?
- Thread starter N2DEEP
- Start date
This past Saturday during a seminar at my dealers the scuttle is that the 2017 touring bikes might get the 110 air cooled as standard power plant and the CVO's might either get the 120ST or equivalent. Reasoning is to compete with standard power in Victory and Indian . . . . we'll see.
Also I read an article recently about HD being ripe for a takeover due to stagnant sales. A possible suitor could be Polaris! It is certainly feasible, that would give them all the US made motorcycles (I think). Polaris is doing quite well with their year round product lines. Remember, these are just speculations at this time!

The government will not allow Polaris to own all the American made motorcycle lines creating a monopoly.

Why would you wait the 110 s have problems with the lifters and camshafts. CVO guys having issues as earlier as 5k miles
Will HD break the barrier of 2000cc mark? Kawasaki had 2000cc for a while and no manufacturer has overcome that barrier so I am interested to see this happen....then what?
Will crotch rockets reach 2000cc......Kawasaki has ZX14R.....will we see 1600cc, 1800cc, etc......1400 has already reached 200HP out of the box.....will our friendly Government control that or have they already had their hands in that too....?????
I know aftermarket motors have passed 2000cc.....like 131 cu in etc........
I hear ya....but as long as they offer people will get it and those that have smaller motors will upgrade soon or later as 88 cu in folks back in the days to 94 then to 103 to 110 to 120 to who knows.....never good enough.....LOL!!!!!
The worst thing is if newer Economy car flies by your bike without trying then you know you have to upgrade to bigger and faster motor.....LOL!!!!!

A guy told me that his uncle was told by his other buddies Nephew who Herd it from there aunt who was married to a janitor at Harley that they are coming out with a 131 as standard equipment in the touring bikes in 2017 and the price was going down $4000. If I was on the fence on buying a bike I would wait until 2020. By then they will have the bugs worked out of the 131.
now you know the gospel and you can say you herd it here first hand.

I agree with the mods I have made to my 103 I have the reliability and longevity of a trusted motor with enough power to keep up with a stock 110.
