In the 80s they actually commisioned Porsche to design them a new engine, then shelved the design (a V4 I seem to remember) cos it was too quiet.Why do Harley-Davidson insist on building such a noisy, rough-running, inefficient engine when the technology exists to make a much quieter, smooth running, efficient engine?
EDIT - It was a V twin and made it into a few bikes, 60 degree though (instead of 45) good old Wiki.
