Thats OK.....Theres plenty of people who want to be the first kid on their block to own one, And then do Harleys research and development for free.....

But Harley doesn’t make car engines..Now if they partnered with Honda….Wait forget that crazy though I had ‘ I remember when they partnered with Porsche…None of the Harley faithful would buy it…

I happily relinquish my test monkey crown when it comes to new HD motors or handguns from any of the major manufacturers. Learned the hard way.

With Harleys having inconsistent oil pressure this could be very bad JUJU IMO

It would work better with a 4 cam engine IMO

I don't want to be a test mule for this one, tho I would gladly volunteer to beat the Hell out of one for HD one their dime

Yeah, if they release this, given their track record, the first few years will be a "working out" of the improvements that would be needed for the system to function without issues.

Some folks are quick to point out that HD has already been using VVT in the Pan America and the new "sportsters". Those are overhead valve engines...very different animal that doing the VVT in a pushrod engine, like pictured in these leaked photos.
