yep that's my thoughts on it also, when I owned my jap bikes adjusting the valves was one of the things I HATED the most because you had to spend a few hours getting it done...
if this truly is their new engine I hope they left enough room to get the valve covers off easily

I still think it's a shame Harley dumped Buell. I suppose Buell sales weren't good enough but they did look cool.

The HP numbers don't look too bad on the new Milwaukee eight.
