I watched a video of one on a dyno this morning -75 hp rear wheel, gobs of torque (max at 2800 or something).
Reviewing well, saying that they are now comparable to the Indian and Victory engines.

However .....they still have belt on primary side
Golden opportunity wasted.
Victory got that sorted...
As did Buell and sporty

Why update it?Originally Posted by Moise
Because it was way behind Victory and Indian engines. The American dream machine was looking dated ......
Oddly they are so proud that it is only the 8th update of their engine in over 110 years ............

That's no big deal mate. Honda CRF450's use a single cam...they seem to go ok!Back to a single cam?

...beguilingly simple...and fair play to the marques they are having to 'keep up with', as they both faltered in the market and some company who made ski-doos took on their patent name...Made In Miwaukee Since 1903...suck shit ya hp pussies...

Funny though, Moto Guzzi have used the same engine {apart from lager CC upgrades} for 40+ yrs... and have always out HP/Torqued Hardly.
Oh yeh, impressive torque/HP on the new HD motor? My MT-01 produced that and that motor is over a decade old.

I reckon an 883 would wipe the floor with the 850 Le Mans. Rode one not long ago. What a pile of shit.

plus it is increasingly difficult to meet statutory requirements about emissions and noise with their older engines.

The 'Lemon' was always a matter of taste, heavy throttle springs, clutch etc. I bought one of the first three 1100 Cali's into NZ in 1995. A US 'big twin' magazine voted it the best Harley.
I'll look with interest when a US cruiser mag does the next big shootout with the new HD and 1400 Cali as part of it.
