Two-cylinder, V-Twin engines with pistons mounted in 45
degrees is the classic Harley-Davidson engine. The crankshaft has single pin
where both pistons are connected through connecting rods that causes the
pistons to fire at uneven intervals. For Big V-Twin engines Harley-Davidson
used many types of engines since the early 1900’s. This engine includes F-head, Flathead,
Knucklehead, Panhead, Shovelhead, Evolution, and the Twin Cam which is used up
until now. There are small V-Twins engines too such as Ironhead and Evolution,
which are the latest engines used for Sportster model Harleys. The last engine
of Harleys is called the Revolution engine as it is jointly designed and
developed by Harley-Davidson and Porsche in
Current model families of Harley-Davidson motorcycles
which are available now in Harley-Davidson dealers are the Sportster, Dyna,
Softail, Touring and VRSC or Revolution. The touring family includes three Road
King models and five Glide models. Most models of Road King models are equipped
with a large clear windshield and looks like a “retro cruiser” in appearance
while Glides can be identified because of its full front fairings. Fairings
such as “Batwing” because of its unmistakable shape and “Sharknose” due to its
dual headlight are just some of Road Glide model’s features. Touring model
motorcycles are easy to handle at low speed and high thus giving any rider a
comfortable and relaxing ride of Harley. Softail is another family of Harley
motorcycle models which is considered as the big-twin model. This model follows
the strong value of Harleys’ tradition, the reasons they attached “springer”
front ends and “heritage” styling that incorporates design cues. Another model
family is called Dyna motorcycle which is made of big twin engines and traditional
styling. Sportster is the longest running motorcycle model of Harleys. They are
built for racing too as it can be used both in flat-rack and in dirty
motorcycle courses. Harley-Davidson produced a collector’s edition called the
XL50 1200 using Sportster engine with 2000 units available in the market. The latest of all these models is the VRSC or
called V-Twin Racing Street Custom.
It was first introduced last 2001 with its features similar to Harley’s
traditional line up. This motorcycle model is worth riding because its engine
was developed by both companies of Harley-Davidson as well as one of the top makers
