hey Phelonius,you know Harley never comes up with anything new,it's the same old garbage year after year. Do you think they will ever come up with a OHC engine ? |

Title: Re: Oddcycle... Post by earlytimz on 06/15/10 at 12:33:25 Harley Davidson Revolution engine 2001-present VSRC http://i50.tinypic.com/2zho3rt.jpg <snip> Liquid-cooled, 1130cc, 115 horsepower. The Revolution engine's basic configuration is a 60° V-Twin with dual overhead cams and four-valve heads. It's a high-revving design, with a 9000 rpm redline. Two velocity stacks housed in a massive air box allows it to breathe aggressively. Electronic fuel injection system, modified for high performance, and a new high-energy plug-top ignition coils. |

Title: Re: Oddcycle... Post by mick on 06/15/10 at 18:16:41 ok lets get this straight is it a Chopper, a Bobber,or a cruiser, I know it's not a cafe racer, flat tracker, scrambler, trials. Anyone ? |

Chopper. Cruiser is fcatory or almost factory design. Bobber is remove as much as you can from the factory design. Chopper may be both of the above but with a modified frame. |

Title: Re: Oddcycle... Post by earlytimz on 06/15/10 at 19:59:08 Night rod... http://i48.tinypic.com/2m3i806.jpg V rods... http://i47.tinypic.com/2qipd2o.jpg Harley partnered with Porsche to design this engine. It's hated by a lot of Harley purists since it's water cooled. Some folks don't even consider it a "real" HD. Personally, I think it's one of the best things they've done in a long time. The bikes take some getting used to, you either love it or hate it. The fuel tank is under the seat. HD makes some good looking bikes, I wish they could do something with this one or at least offer this power plant in some different models. I'm generally not a fan of H2O engines, but I might consider this one. You can pick up a used VSRC for under $10k all day long around here... |

Title: Re: Oddcycle... Post by mick on 06/15/10 at 20:39:16 I was not a fan of water cooled MC engines but that little ninja I had is a high reving beast and uncannily fast after 5000 rpm, I realized a small air cooled engine could not cool that thing down fast enough,most of the time you are averaging 8000 rpm ,it red lines at 11500,has to have coolent,I tell ya I felt better knowing that , in my youth I have siezed up to many engines ,trying to get every ounce of speed from small engines,luckily I felt them start to tighten up and yanked the clutch in time , usually got home on it , you do have to strip em though ,they just aint the same after a thrashing like that, by the way I was not on the highway, this was at brands hatch, you can pay to use the track when not in use for racing , 30 minutes bikes 30 minutes for cars. |

Title: Re: Oddcycle... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 06/16/10 at 10:09:21 Advantages include decreased unsprung weight, reduced structural stress (no spokes to transmit forces through), increased braking leverage, more accurate steering, reduced vibration and a lower center of gravity. So, they took a wheel design that offers handling & braking improvements & stuck them on a boat... good thinking.. If that wheel design offers improved handling & braking, why not build wheels to fit a bike that actually handles & needs good brakes? |

Title: Re: Oddcycle... Post by WD on 06/21/10 at 10:21:43 What a waste of a Panhead engine. Even a replica engine. At least the barn fresh piece of junk Panhead on my patio is getting turned back into a Panhead FL, 57 engine, 48 or older springer front end. Hydro-forks make me ill. That Bimota inspired front end is far beyond ridiculously fugly. Whoever built the oddcycle should go on the gibbet with Arlen Ness, OCC, WCC, and everyone else cranking out hideous rolling abortions and pawning them off on unsuspecting "bikers" as functional custom bikes. Hang the rip-off scam artists, chase out the posers and wannabes and let the rest of us get back to "ruining perfectly good motorcycles" the right way. |
