Being a true Harley freak it makes me sick to even type this...........
We had some guys try Harley V-Twins some years back. Trust me, these boys knew how to make a Harley sing. They couldn't keep up with the old oil cooled Suzuki with mechanical injection back then..........no way would they compete with "ACCEPTED" motors of today. Did they sound awesome? Hell yes. Did they weight two tons? Maybe. Could they get out of their own way? Barely as compared.
Right after the V-Rod came out, we tried to formulate a class that had stock sealed V-rod motors. Even contacted Harley but the idea fell through when it dawned on all of us we woudl be going slower.
BTW.........I still ride Harleys on the street and used to flat track them. Coolest bike made. LOL
