Skeeve Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I saw this doctored pic on another website. Let's hope the Harley crowd doesn't like it. Better looking than a straight up XR1200. I love the psychokinetic final drive btw the back of the Sposta* cases and the rear hub... * - 'Cause it's Sposta be a motorcycle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slavomir Musilek (R.I.P.) Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Harley with kardan bar? :lol: that doesn't match the famous HD motto: "we sell 1939 technology for 2010 prices" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeeve Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Harley with kardan bar? :lol: that doesn't match the famous HD motto: "we sell 1939 technology for 2010 prices" Modern Harleys are belt drive, so that would be "We sell 1910 tech w/ 2010 prices..." ;D Before my maternal grandpa passed away in '86, we'd had a talk about motorcycles. He revealed that he'd had a Harley as a young man: it had a single cylinder & belt drive. I thought his meds were getting to him... then I did some reading, & found out it was all true. A couple years later when I found out that H-D was making belt-driven motorcycles, I thought "wow, everything has come full circle." Maybe it is time for Guzzi to make a supercharged transverse triple again w/ enclosed chain drive? W/ modern materials, it would require even less maintenance than the shaft drive, be lighter and have less unsprung wt., and the engine would be more powerful, compact & smoother than anything the competition is offering. What does Guzzi care if forced-induction isn't allowed in GP racing anymore, it's not like they've been involved in that for the past 50+ years! Let's not poke fun @ Harley for doing what Guzzi has been doing too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abouc Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 If it had the V-Rod engine, this wouldn't be half bad. It will never sell to the HD audience though because dealers wouldn't want it. Look what happened to Buell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
