I was watching a special on the development of the V-Rod and heard that the engine was developed jointly by HD and Porsche and was even tested on dynos at the Porsche facilities in Germany.. I know the Vrod has been out for awhile I just didn't catch it the first time I saw the special. A two wheel Porsche maybe, but its water cooled.

I've always found interesting the analogy between Porsche and HD -- introduction of a water cooled engine followed by the debate as to whether it is the real thing or not. I own a 99 FXDWG that has been modified. The torque, the power and the sound are wonderful. I want to like the new HD, but the torque is not there at the low end. It is fast, but the revs need to be kept up or there is nothing there. And the sound...... Part of the HD experience, just as with the old 911's or the 914's is the sound. The new HD doesn't have it. Things progress, but they don't always get better. Surely, members of this forum understand that.
