revolution engine
Is the water cooled revolution motor used in the V Rod Muscle going to be the power plant for the new water cooled bagger Harley will no dought be coming out with? Just wondering..

There where rumors of that in the past.....but a rumor is nothing more than a rumor.

I predict a slow phase in of the Revolution motor on the Touring class myself. It is a good power plant and they do sound good (beefy!) when you dump the crappy stock exhaust. But a bike with a 7800 RPM redline and 147 HP sounds pretty good to me!

I think it's time for Harley to totally redo the Revo motor. Other makers are getting huge numbers from water cooled v-twins with smaller displacements. Ducati, KTM, Suzuki, even Buell's new Rotax motor are all getting well over 150 hp and torque numbers in the mid-80's. Harley claims 125 hp from the crank which is a bull**** number. Rear wheel numbers are about 20% less.

i personally disagree with the statement that a 6 speed is necessary. I think a 5 speed geared a bit taller than stock with a higher horsepower and torquier engine works just fine.Also a heck of a lot quieter than the stock 6 speed unit!
