It's a stock 03 Classic. We've never raced them, but from riding it myself and riding side by side on my 09 1200C, his just seems quicker.

Some people feel that "real" Harleys only have air-cooled, pushrod V-twins. Which is quite sad. At one point, in the 70s, Harley was in the process of developing a liquid-cooled V-4 engine, but the AMF buy-out killed it. Imagine what could have been.

It's a Porsche. Seriously, Porsche helped design the Revolution engine.

If people would let harley's advance they could potentially be a lot cooler. I for one think the vrod is a step in the right direction.

Wonder how it stacks up against a 1200? What kind of power does the SB put down in stock form? How much does it weigh?
