Do you think there will be additional bikes in the T-Bird line? Maybe a retro looking 1950's type or sport type version?

W/O a doubt. They've already hinted at it and my dealer has some inside contacts and has suggested this too. I believe they will do a tourer as they always do, and i'd bet a roadster as they have just now announced with the R3. But it's all speculation. I would however bet my left nut whatever they are, there will be variants of some kind.

My dealer can't wait....

He's currently modifying the demo model they have:

- No center rear light (will be filled over)
- 4 LED's at tip of rear fender to light license plate
- Stop lights and blinkers on both sides

I've warned him - it simply can not look better than mine

Man, why in god's name would anyone want to lose that beautiful LED tail light?! yeah, tastes vary, i know. It just seems crazy tho. This is one bike that for me needs very little changed. A more traditional badge to be sure....maybe drag bars if i can find riser i like. But for the most part they did it right IMO.

This modified T'Bird will be having the BB Kit installed

- which should be available any time now here in Switzerland!
(It says available from middle of October)

It will be nice to see what they come up with - I'll be going around again towards the end of the week - camera at the ready!

Word is there will be a bagger / tourer version of the bird out. That was implied by the factory rep I spoke with.

As for the Swiss mod... I'm with Daz on the tail light, but I would like to see the rear of the bike cleaned up a bit. I just don't like the plate hanging down off the back.
