Hahah dreamers...........


They can call it whatever they want, but it's actually just a band-aid for a poor engine design...make the engine liquid cooled and the problem is solved, but Harley refuses to come out of the stone age....

If I remember right the H1 came out in 69 also. I had the 1970, 1971 and the H2 in 73

My 71 500 was faster than the 750, I did spend a lot more money on the 71

There may have been something wrong with your H2...I had a '70 H1 with expansion chambers and velocity stacks and it still wasn't as fast as my buddy's stock '73 H2...that thing was wicked fast...it would wheelie walk in all 5 gears....I do remember the '72 H2 was the fastest model though...
 
Harley isn't stupid. Harley is in business to make money and they have done good at it. Their bikes aren't that good in comparison to just about everything else but their marketing is great. They play to certain type of customer base, not all but mostly brand conscious followers. They love the sound and that will change once they water cool them. The company makes more on clothing then bikes. They have the HOG club thing going that many of their customers love. They play to women. The design of the engine is just fine with them and the customers done know or care any different.
 
To some folks sadly it is
 
Shortly after that, another friend got one of those 4 cylinder Hondas, CB 750, I believe. That was something at the time.
 
Here are some of my old bikes, I've sold most in the last couple of years.

Honda 750 fours were not the fastest but were built well and reliable and stopped good. They were first, the rest followed.

You are dead right about Honda changing the motorcycle industry!!!

The 2 strokes were never going to make it in the real world...Honda changed that with the cheap, very reliable motorcycles that came into this country.

THE two stroke KAWASAKIS where faster than the Honda 750 but the HONDA was a nice bike being a four stroke THEN KAW came out with the Z1900 in 1972 and it was the KING period
