That's true and it does work. I bought mine in Fresno, and had no problems, even in traffic, without an oil cooler.At least BMW has the good sense to have the cylinders hanging out in the airstream.
HD seems to be entering the water cooled market and now offer 750 and 500 water-cooled models.Harley's are the most dependable? Are you shitting me? A Goldwing with a hundred thousand miles on it is just getting broken in.
There is a reason why few motor-vehicle companies are making air-cooled engines any more. They are inherently inferior to water-cooled. Not to mention the phenomenon of having an overheating oven between your legs when you stop at a stoplight in the summer. At least BMW has the good sense to have the cylinders hanging out in the airstream.
I disagree. Eat your heart out, I just did about 120 miles on a custom 1200 sporty hardtail with apes. Mostly soybean, potato, corn farmlands with straight roads, but some traffic land at the start and finish. Maybe 40 miles through curves in the forest sections. Six customs in the group. I sure am lucky. My neighbor is a custom builder. Does it for a living. When I mentioned apes he offered a loaner and an invite to a little run. Might pay for it tomorrow with some soreness, but it was worth it. I had no issues with my ride.Besides looking stupid as hell.
Ape-hangers aren't comfortable and are somewhat unsafe. ......
Agree, with two stops we were out for about four hours. Short run, but hey, I haven't run with apes for 35 years and the same with a hardtail sporty. It was a treat for me. I am half way through my sixth decade.120 miles is long? Seriously? That's not a day's ride...that's what I call a "lunch run".
It was a '83 frame with a rebuilt bored and stroked '06 1205 16" extended Springer.Why would anyone ruin a new motorcycle by removing the rear suspension?
My regular ride since '91 has been a EVO 2 on a '66 CHP frame with original CHPS Pearl White tin and black frame, RP front end, floor boards, saddle seat, buckhorn bars, stripped of rear crash bars, front bars retained, vintage leather bags.Excuse me, I think I will throw up now.
I love those bars. Been using them since the '70's.How the hell can you even RIDE with buckhorns?
The only Harley worth owning is a V-rod, appropriately accessorized. But they must be very uncomfortable to ride. The used ones you see (at least around here) have ridiculously low mileage - which to me says that their owners don't enjoy riding them.
