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.
For me the shovelhead.....first bike that i owned back in 76 ..........loved the look then and still do just wish i had kept that old bike............but the TC is a nice motor in its own right
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.
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.
