one of my buddys has one and he rides the piss out of it and revs the shit out of it...he needs to in order to keep up with the rest of us on our rice grinders. he has to go through the motor almost every year, the bearings go away from all the rpms.
they still use 1910 technology, don't even think they are american made these days...they only get assembled here in the states. like 87 percent of the parts are made in the orient.
when they redesigned the engine into the evolution version, porsche engineers did the design work, that in itself is pretty lame if you ask me.
they do look bitchin and are great for two up riding cuz of the torque but a gold wing or any of the big jap touring bikes are sooo much smoother. harleys never were fast but the higher ups in the company wanted to win at something other than dirt track, they tried running them in pro stock bike and let them run nitro still couldn't compete, they tried road racing em had an independent company come in to advise them how to be competitive ...the said redesign the engine, frame, suspension, harley threw in the towel. called vance and hines...nhra let them run 2400cc engines to race 1200 and 1300cc jap bikes, every bike in the class is practically a v twin now cuz the engines can be so big. there are no harley parts in the bike other than the screaming eagle decals.
