I'm pretty sure some people like the fact that it shakes at idle. I know I do.

WTF ? Do any of you actually ride a rubber mount? If you did, you would know that there is NOTHING to fix. Mines an old rubber mount and it runs smooth everywhere at every speed. Who gives a **** if it vibrates when you are ideling? It's not like your going to sit on the bike for an hour straight at a stop light.

Why dose counterbalanceing the engine have less horse power?

And Liquid cooled.
Man, and notice how that DOESNT affect any of you who want a traditional motor? So it would be FINE if they made a bigger engine that way, and put it in some other bikes. mostly the big tourers.
JUST AS LONG AS THEY KEPT A TADITIONAL AIRCOOLED MOTOR AVAILABLE.
Right?

FLYKLR beat me to it. Yep, if they could do it, it would already have been done. LOL. Well, they can, and they did. I'd love to see one in a softail frame.

Harley already has a rubber mounted counter balanced bike, the Vrod.
