10 American Motorcycle Engines That Last Forever

[@skyrider4ever]

So many mistakes, I had to stop when they said knuckles had aluminum heads..

Guys, this isn’t an Englishman talking, it’s an AI voiceover. Kinda glossed over the Buells by only showing one picture of an S3 with Buellised motor, then the Rotax-engined XBR.

[@MorganWhittington-g8x]

I’ve never seen a shovel head get 200,000 miles. Wish they would get American to do these videos, and let the English stick to their own bikes. Maybe then they’ll know what they’re talking about.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe miles are less distance in Europe? Prolly went alot more miles then a British machine though. I always liked British motorcycles, but they did wear out fast if used daily.

Flat head made till 1970 lol

In the 80s. There was a frame and engine in the back of EZ Rider magazine. It was a Vtwin that used Chevy 350 pistons and rods and valves.A old friend of mine bought one. He put ungodly amount of miles on it without any major problems. The main problem was finding any mechanic to service this motor. He learned to work on it himself. It used a stock HD transmission. Wonder what happened to this genuis motor?

[@TheWolfsnack]

The Super Vee...basically a slice of a Chev V8....I think it was more scam than brilliant idea....as I can't think of any that actually were built and running..

[@tomrobards7753]

That first Harley in the video was a mid 70's 1,000 cc shovel head not a 883 i owned them brand new .

And any moment now the sky will be full of flying p[gs....

[@mpista7182]

[@sallhame]

Extremely boring to listen to. Anyway, my own engine is a 100CID Revtec. And I love it :-)

[@raylocke282]

I had to do ring and valve jobs on my shovels every 25 k miles.In the 60s HD parts were relatively cheap.Im sick of fake computer english accents on KZbin !

[@JohnCunningham-sy5ug]

The Goldwing was built in Marysville Ohio until 2011 and 200k is just nicely broken in.😅

[@kennethsnider3456]

You lost me at the Ironhead. that engine was a piece of junk that was constantly needing wrenched.

[@robertstimmel5326]

This guy just doesn't really know what he is really talking about. Sorry 😢
