Yelo are you talking about a torq monster something like this? It dynoed a little over 160 rwhp

 

rc-51's have that VERY distinct sound it sounds bad ***.....

 

RC-51's are great street bikes.

The fuel issues with Honda's are emissions related. Get a PC3 and its fixed.

That Hardly Make-it-son may make lots of torque, but for how long?

 

*drools*......uh, erm, WOW !!!.....I've only got around 110hp/110tq (which is still 50 ft/lbs more than most sport bikes), THAT THING is a MONSTER !!!, What size motor is that ?????

moregrip: I've been riding for about 10 years on and off, I bought this Buell new and it's been in pieces more often than not.....I've only got 4200 miles on it since '00

 

It'll make that hp/torque for YEARS !!!, but it'll vibrate you so badly that you'll never be able to have kids...your sperm will be so dizzy they won't know which way to go !!!

THAT is the main reason I don't ride my bike as much as I'd like to.....the vibration between 3500-5000rpm is enough to drive you crazy, I've tried EVERYTHING I can to fix it but it's just a Harley v-twin trait, if I could figure out how to put the balance-shafted, water-cooled V-Rod motor into my Buell I'd NEVER complain about the thing again !!!

 

When Harley designed the Evo platform, they at first had a reliable, smooth, powerful V-Twin- which had a slightly different exhaust note than traditional (pan, knuckle) Harley motors. The most noticeable change was in the V-angle.

Their focus groups told them that the sound was without doubt the most important aspect of the bike...and that was that.

The V-Rod engine is not really a Harley engine. It was originally designed for use in AMA Superbike racing in the early 1990's. Most of the early design work was carried out by a European supercar manufacturer. Once the basic design was achieved, developement was turned over to Gemini Group in Milwaukee, Wi. Only after the Harley superbike program failed did the engine find a home in the V-Rod_________regardless of what the Discovery channel says.

Gee....I wonder why

emperor72.....I knew most of that already but that is a good bit of info to share with everyone here, and I saw that Discovery Channel show too

 

Discovery was trying to make Harley look like they were actually involved in the design and developement- they were not. In their production line bikes, more than 80% is japanese. In their Superbike program, almost nothing was done in house, except write checks.
