Fairly anemic for an $8000 crate motor, IMO, compared to what's possible, even with a V twin.
 
A lot of noise and no horsepower....I wonder how much this one will leak oil. HD is overpriced crap.
 
Personally guys, I'm impressed that Harley is staying true to their roots. V Twin with over 1100cc per cylinder and more horsepower at the rear wheel than a stock early model Rocket especially a Touring. I wonder when this engine will be a stock offering in their lineup. I do like the looks of it but not the cost. For a lot less $$$s you can purchase a Carpenter upgrade including exhaust and fly....
 
Modern Harleys are a pretty good product, they just aren't canyon carvers. But neither are Rockets, at least first generation, I haven't ridden a new one.
 
I had good luck and times with my Harleys. I’m preferring Indians these days however. I’ve got at 126 ci motor that makes 112 hp/ 151 tq at the wheel . It too is not a canyon carver but it’s a very strong low rpm cruiser.
