That article is several years old. I know it's been some time since I read it. I think it was just a prototype.

Prototype from the early '80s, IIRC.

That was the japanese answer to the japanese bikes beating HD at the time. And AMF loved the little poo-box rides.

Could HD hide the radiator in the tank and have a gas tank somewhere else? Not hard to imagine as the VRod is close to that (cept the radiator). Unless the gov't tries their cc limit crap again, there will never be a Harley below the 500cc Buell.
