Knuckle for me. It looks hand made.

If all V-Twins can be considered, nothing looks as nice as the old Vincent..... and no, the first time I saw one was not on that damn biker build off w/ Matt Hotch.

The Sprint.

Ok I'm kidding !!!!!!!!! I like the looks of the Shovelhead. I had on old ratty Ironhead Sporty once, but my 1st Big Harley was a 1974 Shovel Superglide that my dad purchased brand new.

Oh yeah I did have a Sprint. (16 yrs old)

I gotta go with the knucklehead, it reminds me of the old radial aircraft engines!

Ok guys and gals, lets hear what ya think. I'm not interestedin performance or reliability in this poll, only beauty and looks. Myself, I'm torn between the Pan and the Shovel. Look here for some pics:

I'm telling you, I just can't believe the results I'm seeing after I voted. There must be a lot of people voting that don't really know what these others motors LOOK like....cuz there is no way the twin cam is better looking than the sweetest looking [not saying anything about performance] motor ever (Knucklehead of course)....but a panhead is a nice close second.
