Any one ever work on a push rod twin? Easy as fuck.
Oh....and the new XR1200 Harley (which America is not getting and is bullshit b/c I'd seriously consider buying it).....there are Buell parts in that engine!

I gotta admit, I like the XR as well! But I don't think Harley would sell any here. OSP helped me realize, the market and roads are different here. That's why Europe gets all the good stuff. Americans are perfectly content going no faster than 55 in a straight line, as loudly as possible for 7 hours straight.

The XR1200 IS coming to the US. Dealers are beginning to take orders. If you want one, drop your deposit. |

You're refering to the fact that alot of Gm's sedans share the same platform right? Um,the Pontiac G6, Opel Vectra (sp?),Malibu Maxx (which I mentioned earlier), Saab 9-3,etc. Having the same platform doesn't make them the same car but anyway,you're kinda making my point. Gm isn't taking great cars and making them "better,higher quality".They are buying an established make with a strong following and making it a GM product with a foreign maker's name on it. Which is what some people are afraid HD is going to do with MV. You see,the Saabs,Opels,etc that you see now aren't Saabs,Opels,etc. They are Malibus and Saturns with another brand's name on them. Oh and Saturns were modified Opels initially but now they are almost one and the same model for model.Are we ready for a Cagiva or Mv that is really a Buell Lighting with different badging?

The Saturn line is mostly what i was talking about. The new Astra is an Opel... still has all the euro shit on it, turn signals, radio etc. I belive the Vue is an Opel as well... Aura still an "american" made car. |

Bullshit. Where did you find this info? Every article I've read says it's not coming here....yet atleast. And it's not on the US Harley website....only the Euro site.
