This is a new one (1500 cruiser content)

Just when i thought i'd heard every possible rumor about this bike, today a dealer told me a new one. First of all, he said he's positive it's not a rumor that this bike exists, and that like has been said it will debut either in '09 or mid '08. He got this at the dealer meeting i presume. Anyways, i never heard this one yet....... it's going to be a "parallel forward slanted V twin". HUH???!!! So i asked what that meant and he said sorta like a moto guzzi with the heads off to each side, but also slanted forward !

Now, i seriously doubt this, and he even admitted to not being sure because i guess he just didn't understand what the rep or whoever was saying. But god, i hope it's not some bizarre configuration like that ! And how could it slant forward with the cylinders configured off to the side like a guzzi anyways ! Not possible, or at least no feasible ! In any case, i just thought i'd post about it so there would be absolutely no rumors about it left to tell. Thats the kitchen sink of 1500 cruiser rumors to be sure ! But at least it's the first time any dealer has not only admitted to knowing anything about it, but was sure that whatever it turns out to be, it does exist.
