Harley Finalizes MV Agusta Sale

[Power-Tripp]

Don't diagree, technically-speaking.

But " inexpensive" ? Certainly NOT, according to Harley's price lists . I don't believe that Harley's annual rehashes of its previous century "technology" justify today's price tag as far as the engine, tranny and chassis are concerned.

Inexpensive to manufacture. HD is just taking everything the market will bare on the retail side.

With HD, anything with their label on it....

There is nothing wrong with a pushrod valvetrain and 2-valve head. it is compact, inexpensive, and can do many things better than an OHC 4-valve design. Especially when low rpm torque is a priority over a wide powerband.

The problem is the combustion chamber and port shapes.

Look at the modern Chevy LSx engines. Very efficient and compact.

I have no desire to 'look' at anything from Government Motors. GM don't exist here anymore.

LMAO, that is sooooooooo true. Cretins straddling a crankshaft, with the sound of an old farm tractor.

HD's may have a market on "the sound of an old tractor". Be we have the market on "the torque of an old farm tractor"!
