Yeah, and a bunch of folks would be whinin that aint a Harley if it aint a air cooled V-twin, or at least a V-twin...I don't agree, just saying its gonna be a big gripe out there...
ceej...I know, Vrod riders get some of that crap handed to them. I've not personally experienced it, but a lot of people who ride V's get comments from riders of "regular" Harleys to the tune of "that ain't a REAL Harley"...blah, blah, blah. For me, it is most definitely a Harley...it feels like one when you're on it, there's nothing else on the road that looks like it, or sounds like it. Times, they are a changin'...
I don't really see a down side to a high output water cooled touring bike developed out of the Revo motor. The V's have had a few small problems throughout the production years, but very minor ones, and a lot of riders have LOT's of miles on these motors without any problems at all. Having another choice is always a good thing.
