First thread?

 

LOL! thats funny right there

 

Quite happy with the Bikes I have ...

 

Just stick it so all the non sense can go in here for the rest of the year.

 

Aint happening till Government makes them do it.

 

First, get over the religion.

Why not a 135" liquid cooled v-twin with ~120hp/~150lbs torque?

Harley's used to be the heavy-weights. Now they are barely middle-weights.

If Harley went to a really big inch motor with a water jacket, we, the riders would get the benefits of 50+ years of cruiser/touring experience with modern arm-wrenching power. The Goldwing would be a thing of the history - HD is the king.

Put the v-rod in a touring bike AND a canyon carver. The cross/species cruiser/sport frame is (IMNSHO) lunacy.

Give us the "Big Kahuna" - good god, Kawasaki and Triumph are way out there on heavy-weights.

As it is the V-Rod puts out 120hp with a motor that is only approximately 76 cu in. Given that the Big Twin motors are 96 cu in, if HD went to a 135 cu in and it still only put out 120hp, I'd say there's something wrong. I think the solution as you suggested would be to use the Revolution (V-rod) motor across the line in all the models, like the TC 96 is now. It's a smaller motor that develops more power and is more efficient.

 

If I want liquid cooled I will buy a Honda

 

I will buy a new Ultra when it is liquid cooled, but will not consider one until that time.
