evo hands down , but I am in love with panheads

 

The EVO has been around longer, but the REVO will get my vote for most reliable engine the MOCO has ever built. May not be as many out there, but it is a very solid power plant that is extremely reliable. Ask any HD dealership mechanic, they will tell you. We never see them for anything except an oil change, they just run very well and don't require much maintenance at all. They have even pushed the valve check to 20,000 miles now and even then only 10% need a minor adjustment that if not done wouldn't cause a problem at all. They may not sound like the air cooled motors, but if I needed extreme reliability, I would have to go with this one. They can handle the extreme heat and punishment that anyone could dish out.

 

I've put many miles over the years on a pan, shovel and now recently the EVO. They all had there good points. I like the sound of the Pan. The shovel while not bullet proof initially can be with your personal touch. I am hoping the Evo is as good as everyone says.

 

Maybe not time, but miles yes. There are many 100k mile + engines that have never had any issue, just normal mantancance, I know the twinkys have similar stories, but % wise there are allot of 100k+ Revos doing very well.

Now we don't know how well they will start after sitting in some dudes garage for 20 years... I guess that's the "test of time"

 

My independant mechanic says it's the Twin Cam....so instead of guessing i would say he knows a lot more than me. He works on all HDs so he should know more by experience.....

Clearly this is a popularity poll. The Twinkie is the most reliable? I don't think so. Based on all the b!tchings that go on in this site I would guess it's the worst.

The current most reliable HD motor is the EVO. There are more out there with 100K+ on them than any other motor. Maybe in a few years you can re-post this poll and then we can see.

As for the Revo. It's still too new. And besides, it sits in a yuppie bike. Go ahead, flame away.

 

Like I said, those of us who buy Revos ride them hard. All us drag-racing-iron-butt-yuppies have put well over 100k on them in the few years they have been out.

That's cute though, a yuppie bike. All those trailor queen V-Rods you see all over the place.

 

EVO - HAD 2, STILL HAVE 1. VERY RELIABLE AND EASY TO WORK ON.

The revolution sits in a V-rod which is not IMO a "true" Harley Davidson "classic" looking motorcycle. Butthe v-rodIS indeed a Harley Davidson Motorcyle. With all theso called yuppies buying HD's can we honestly say that there isone HD model that is NOT a yuppie bike? [sm=confused06.gif]Food for thought.
