Sorry, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many heads around here. 
How about "Slightly Improved 2010 Hex With A Different Paint Job."
"We trained hard, but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we would be reorganized. Presumably the plans for our employment were being changed. I was to learn later in life that, perhaps because we are so good at organizing, we tend as a nation to meet any new situation by reorganizing; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization."

Camhead came to mind immediately for me. I think it makes the most sense.
Can't wait to hear one run!

Nick-naming the ENGINE camhead sounds good to me --
Creating a separate FORUM named camheads doesn't, since the bikes are virtually identical except for one having two cams above the cylinder/head line, rather than one cam above the line.
Thus, IMO the Hexheads forum should become the Hexheads/Camheads forum.

I think making different forums is a good idea. The new model with plenty of new components will have its own issues for sure. Sure much of the bike is the same, but certain "new model" issues will arise.
What happens when a forum encompasses too many models is that the relevant information you are looking for becomes lost in a quagmire of non-relevant info. I've found this to be frustrating on other forums. Like a KTM forum I frequent, they lump the four stroke bikes together. But they made a significant motor change in 2008. When I search for a particular issue I have to wade through hundreds of posts that are non relevant.
I really don't see the problem with adding forums or making subgroups of forums. But then I'm a splitter, no a lumper.

Mark,
Sounds like a great idea to me (just like a suggestion I made to one of the forum administrators in fact..)
If/When the new model diverges enough from the original Hexheads - the name will be in place, and it will be easy to make the split. Right now - I don't think there is enough difference in the bikes to do it, nor enough owners of the new bike to make it worthwhile.

Actually - AFAIK - since there is one camshaft PER head - it technically shouldn't be designated as DOHC, which implies seperate intake and exhaust cams.

That would be my vote. There's SO much overlap between the two and the HP2 has already lived in the hexhead forum. From 20 feet away, they're essentially identical to the previous models.

Call it "248"
"248" for 2 cylinders, 4 cams, 8 valves.
or I'm not sure how to make this show correctly on the posting but maybe 2 cubed
