This might be old news but I understand 2016 will be the last year of the air cooled big twins from the MoFoCo.
4 valve heads and increased displacement - I think it was 107 and 113 ci, too.
The line I kept hearing was "Don't buy a 2017"!
No worries, there.

No radiator(s) on this - apparent - test bike...

The news has been leaked in Oz, as well. They claim air cooled.

Interesting seeing a steering damper on the bike in the first article however...

That sounds pretty much what I heard and forgot (single cam) but the conjecture was they'd all be water cooled due to the gaskets that Hardley is currently sending out.
I gather they're having some issues with internal coolant leakage at the moment and their flagship models have been nicknamed Steaming Eagles as a result.

Funny...

Haven't heard squat about any release of it yet, so I decided to search Milwaukee Eight on Harley-davidson.com and got the following:

Milwaukee Eight 1


Milwaukee Eight 2


Sturgis is almost over, when will they make their announcement (or will it be some stupid social media 'spectacle' like 2016)?

Apparently this is the hottest, latest Harley-Davidson news...

Well, that and their stock performance is less than optimal...

The new Harleys are out. Looks like there is indeed an 8-valve version of the big twin.

They're laying off 200 people (give or take). Supposedly the majority of them are coming for the York plant up the road.

Cycle world seems to think the valve train is chain driven like a Twin Cam - but the pictures pretty clearly show pushrods. Yes, Pushrods in an engine designed in the 21st century.

I haven't been paying attention to HD - When did they stop building Dyna glides?

2017 was the last of the Dyna glides
