There is going to be some big news at Harley. My dealer wouldn't tell me what , but said it is big.

That is a possibility, true, but Harley isn't known for hyping bad news.

Knowing how Harley is, we could see a MV 4cyl in a sportster, I know there is talkof a V-rod engine tourer. I know they were also talk of a smaller cc sportster around 500cc , maybe a blasy motor.

The dealer thinks it is going to be a 125cc. There might be a 350cc street bike coiming too.

That would be interesting to see and long overdue. The biggest complaint I've heard about HD is that they have no entry level bikes. They sort of addressed the issue with the Buell Blast, but it would be nice to see more styles and choices offered.
Thing is, Harley tried the small bike thing back in the late 60's-early 70's with their Aermacchi partnership. The little Italian made 175, 250 and 350 were not best sellers and, like Buell, a lot of dealers were resistant to stocking them. Let's hope that attitude has changed, because Harley is missing out on a large chunk of a market share.
