That was in either AIM or Hot Bike a few months ago. Ironicly the engine for the NOVA back then was designed by Porsche as well. Was around 1977 if I am not mistaken.

HD would do well to expand its offerings and gain a wider customer base. BMW managed to do it, moving from only boxers to inline 4s, singles and parallel twins as well as boxers. I'd love to see an American made high powered V4 tourer.

I would like to see HD have made that into production. I would not have bought one not into sport bikes, but at least have a more diverse line up.

I saw it in the museum last summer when I was in Milwaukee. Different, might have had some potential...
