Who gives a fuck if HD designed the VROD engine or not?... What does that have to do with anything? They don't build race engines, are not setting out to do so, so they contract out someone who knows the technology better... Why spend the money on R&D when someone's already done the legwork for you? Pay them, use their technology, and make money. Win, win, win.



Exactly. The simplicity of the Buell is part of what attracted me to it... I am a mere mortal and do not require a machine so sophisticated and beyond my skill level.

Sorta... many of the parts are similar and based upon Buell tech, but they aren't necessarily straight from Buell.
I've read some, including the cams, are directly from Buell.
