Shouldn't they be trying hard to make it look nice. they tried really hard before, why should they stop trying to make the engine look nice. I would like to see what you can produce.
...but the cylinders and heads look like the robot from Lost in Space. Surely the MoCo could have done better than that.....
Trying so hard to make the engine look cool, and it's just a complete failure IMHO. Funky looking die cast parts. Monolithic looking cylinder/head/cam cover arrangements. Not to mention the plastic looking covers used all around. I don't know man...I just glad there's still plenty of 45 degree pushrod twins around.
Agree. The 45 degree is H-D's golden goose. The PA success was helped because H-D loyalists were ready to try an Adv bike and H-D made a good one. If a sport / cruiser does not have the 45 degree style, sound and feel, there are a ton of other great choices. It will be interesting to watch the Rev Max entry into the cruiser/tour space.
"Looks like a Harbor Freight design. A Kirby vacuum has more style than than engine...."
oh, ok, master of design who has never designed anything
I have designed a few things, and I say he's right. 4th post, huh...
Anyway, ignoring Poindexter, I think we all have to expect rough edges from their products from here on out. Just look at their "Leadership Principles" here: link . Quoting the 5th one down: "Speed - Don’t let perfection get in the way of process and pace". In other words, make the deadline and ship it, even if it is flawed. I wonder if Wille G is aware of that list.
