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.

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.

@jamesberry276 Ай бұрын

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.

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 Ай бұрын

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..

Have personally seen 75,000 on oe shovel engine, on 83 FLH Sport with rear belt drive and was still going strong. Single cam 84 to 90s Evos do even better.

Totally misleading info here; no engine's forever, not the ones on any motorcycle nor the ones on any kind of vehicle, land, sea and air. Second, if you like to ride more than you wrench, stay away from vintage engines, including the evo (It's just a bloody worldwide myth spread by internet warriors that it's the best engine Harley ever made.....bullcrap!), it's just the nature of the beast. Just get over it and move on god damn it!
