Been callin' 'em that since '99.

They've got a lotta good points about 'em, but I think they're getting really close to being the first "throwaway" engine HD has produced.

Progress. [8D]

I've heard the term, but mostly from non-Harley folks. Most riders call it the Twin Cam.

can you explain "first throwaway engine..."...
