Just wondering what was the best engine and what year Harley put it in their bikes.

 

They're all good, you'd have to put in more specifics as to what constituites the best motor. Just like some like chevvies, some like fords, you'll find advocates of all hd motors. Personally I like my evo more than my ironhead.

 

I'd say the newest/most current is the "best". Just for the simple fact that the Moco is constantly improving them for reliability.

 

I like the one in my '08 fatty.

 

Yeah right. It's your fantasy. The EVOs were more reliable. There were EVO bottom ends with over 400,000 miles on them. Cranks on the new ones are a weak link and a lot worse then older twin cam cranks.

 

Mid 80's Evo engines were built tough. Good cam bearings but leaked oil from the barrel bottoms. I like shovels too but they had some bad hair days!

 

EVO bikes were the best ...... EVO all the way!

 

The next one to come out.

But the Evo in the XR1200 is incredible and the Evo in the Buell Ulysses is beyond incredible.

 

Vrod specialists are a bored lot.

 

Evo...
