Anyone see this leak on the 2018's?

Yesterday the following link was live and had leaked info on the 2018 models.

https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesoci...17/august/2018-harley-davidson-line-up-leaked

It was an interesting read. Conflicts with some other "leaked info" I've gotten.

Who knows, could all be disinformation.

We'll know next week!

Interesting. I wonder what motor they'll use on the Sportster?

I had a feeling they would figure a way to fit that engine in a Dyna

Bet they changed the frame and primary HMMMMM

Yeah, pretty sure they have gone to the Common Core frame on the Softail & Dyna. Will be interesting to see if they did it also on the Touring and Trikes.

Yup, wonder about the Sporties, did they get a bump in engine size? HMMMMMM

This is what I got:

https://enginessociety.com/leaked-2018-harley-davidson-range/

Peak power figures for the engines are lower than you might expect – ranging from around 92hp for the smallest, oil-cooled 107 to about 101hp for the 114 version with water-cooled heads. The new 117 will make about 105hp.

But those numbers don’t tell the whole story – Harley engines are about torque, and even the smallest Milwaukee-Eight makes a stomping 110lb-ft at just 3250rpm. The 114 makes up to 122lb-ft at the same speed, and the 117 should be capable of around 130lb-ft.

Torque figures are impressive....

According to info from another site, they will still be 883 and 1200. I thought I posted a link to there last night, but maybe I was drunker than I thought. Wonder where that post went? :xzqxz:

The Eclipse snatched it up :laugh:

I would how ever like to see and know

IMO The MOCO should not molest the longest running production line

Update it but do not bastardsize it JMO
