I take exception the ides that a M8 or a Twinkie are better looking than a Flathead. Big ugly bloated blobs of chrome in my opinion.

And that group picture posted, lower left is an Indian motor, just sayin'.

Flatheads Forever!!!!

Cone shovels are the best looking Harley motor in my opinion ....all cool looking motors except the evo,they just look boring...not saying there not fast or whatever but looks wise u can’t go wrong with a cone shovel

Shovels and back for the best looking, evo's were the beginning of the plain import looking motors. While a great engine the evo just lost all personality looks wise, it became generic.
