"Milwaukee 107" would have way more sense than Milwaukee 8. I mean who uses the number of valves to name an engine? Given the MOCOS logic they would name my truck engine the Cummins Columbus 24.
It is their motorcycle company so I guess they can names things whatever they want.

This is a 8 year old thread that we already know the name is here to stick.
Maybe we should call it the "OLD MILWAUKEE 8".

I understand this is an old thread, but I'm an old graybeard biker that dates back to first riding in '67 and now with time on his hands perusing the ethereal world through the internet, is figuring that he'd still put it out there. Never can tell when something re-sticks.
No harm, no foul, right?
And besides, I still ride, my last purchase in '99, my 23 year old softail custom and she still cries seeing me approach her 'cause she knows after throwing my leg over that she's gonna' get ridden hard. Real hard. My age has nuthin' to do with anything, so because I still have skin in the game, I'd say I have that right to try and rename the model lineup still.

Another "New, Improved" offering with numerous inherent flaws, some of which may, or may not be corrected through warranty.
That, along with scrapping the hydraulic clutch because, well...they sucked. Just like the "Gushmore".
Under the circumstances...name it after the engineers that put it out there. *********.
