Talking about motorcycles can be very emotional at
times, but here I go anyway.
The Harley Davidson motor is good for what it was
designed for, cruising down the road turning moderate
rpm's. The motors are heavy for the amount of power
that they produce and very expensive too. People are

All of this said, the HD motor can NOT compete with the Corvair on price.
At $9500 for a 108HP engine I'd say you get a lot more suck, squeeze, BANG,
blow for the buck from the Corvair.

You usually run a Twin Cam HD between 2000 to 4500 RPM. 1000 at idle, 5600
Max with stock valve train.
I've made some long trips on the bike running around 4000 RPM all day.

It isn't the rpms you turn so much as the HP you are making at those RPMs that
kills the engine. You average HD may be capable of 100+ hp, but cruising it at
4000 rpm and partial throttle on a bike isn't making very much HP. When you
demand big HP continuously, that's when the failures start
