As a Harley fan, I don't believe there is one factory Harley piece on the engine. But it's fun to watch them win..

Same can be said for any race team. Bottom line is the HD team is superior.

And yes, I'd love to try that too!!

Coolaid, you should read the article how Vance and Hines built the Harley engine and what they had to do to make it a winner.
I agree with MikeBel, bottom line, they win.

Vance and Hines is now working on the new replacement to the KR750. This year the H-D factory team is on the CR750R which is substantially based on the Street 750 engine. they have done several races so far this year.

You mean the XR750. Harley hasn't raced the KR since the '60s.

It is a shame that they refuse to sell the race motor like Buell, S&S and Suzuki so other teams could be competitive.
