RevMax is a great engine and would require a different tune. Add a mono shock frame it sure would be a step in the right direction.
Love my 19 CVO, but the engine and suspension on my Pan America is light years ahead of it.
Dave, like you I dumped a bunch of $$$ into my 2019 limited to get the performance and ride to my liking and riding style.
Harley could have done this years ago but IMO they ran “old technology “ as long as they could to milk the last dollar of profit until the competition took some of their market.
I think riders are now demanding a better bike, not just new paint. Look at rear shocks, same basic shock from 1984? How many BMW riders Change shocks at purchase?
I friend of mine worked in R&D in the 80’s and was so excited about 4valve heads, OHC, many ideas and testing that never made it past the accounting department.
I’m on a road trip into the second week. Loaded to the gills. BSR along. We are comfy, hit rain, hail, snow, winds mountain roads, long stretches of 2 lane, cruise at 75-85 when we can, no problem passing a line of cars (thanks Suburban Speed). Engine running very nice. Grudge box overdrive is great.
I’m thinking Harley will likely put the 131 into the lineup if they get CA approval and MORE fancy paint for the diehards. The new engine platform will SLOWLY emerge sometime in the future.
No matter what Harley comes out with, I’m on my last Harley.
JMHO and wish list.
