Sounds impressive.
Now, where's that sportbike they've been taunting us with??? Title: Re: New Harley Adv Bike Post by: triangleforge on April 27, 2021, 11:50:55 AM Wow! Sounds like Harley has a contender in a category I never would have imagined. Nice work. [Dolph]
(edit) And shoot me for a heretic, but hydraulic valves sound delightful. Title: Re: New Harley Adv Bike Post by: koko64 on April 27, 2021, 02:20:31 PM When you work on your own bikes (and others), hydraulic valves are appreciated.

Doesn't sound 1/2 bad for a Hardley... Title: Re: New Harley Adv Bike Post by: koko64 on May 01, 2021, 03:49:08 PM Might be the best bike Harley has ever built besides the XR750. Both built for purpose.

My search engine skills have been found wanting, but I distinctly remember a Peter Egan column from the late 70s (probably?) begging HD executives to listen to the engineers & designers at the company - not to mention customers - who desperately wanted Harley to create a road-going version of the XR750. That would have been a very cool bike...

Wasn't that one pretty much a Sportster with the XR750 heads and a breathtaking pricetag?

Wasn't that one pretty much a Sportster with the XR750 heads and a breathtaking pricetag? Basically. As I recall they were a decent performer stock but were easily tweaked. I was looking to buy one many years ago, but the prices were ridiculous at the time. I can about imagine how ludicrous they are now. |
