The Triumph era is over...for now.

HD does have the 120 out, I have a friend who installed it in his bike...definitely gives it a lot more power...but still not in the Thunderbird's or Rocket's league.

The new bike is definitely not a Victory.

I am installing a 500W, 8 speaker system in the new one.

Good luck with your new ride mate

Love the thunderbird but even with the bigbore kit it aint in the rockets league powerwise . have had the honour of riding both the 1600 tbird and the storm loved them both but they dont get close in power imo
 
Not a Gold Wing Dave, nor a Voyager...but I guess I will be like this "Oscar" when I am riding...jamming some time away.

Dracul...I think this 125 you are speaking about is just a rumor...it took a lot to just get the 120 into my friends bike, they aren't cheap and, get this, even though they are new out of the box...NO WARRANTY...but a good number of guys are willing to be a guinea pig for the MOCO.

...but not me.

One day I'll get rich (who knows...could happen...if not me...who?) and get a number of bikes that get the blood pumping in different ways.

But since I am getting older...and presumably slower...I'm getting a bike that matches that train of thought...I'll be happy with it...or I'll move onto a diffrent bike...but it definitely is in the "touring" mode.

You may be right MM. I did read about it, and the all the tumult that followed, in a V-Twin publication. Looked legit. Might be an upcoming model with a larger frame? If so, very pricey I'd wager. At any rate, not for me either. I love the look and sound of HDs, and I've ridden several, but I can't foresee purchasing one. Maybe a used V-Rod I could tweek :rolleyes:
 
135" Monster V-Twin for HD a Reality!

JIMS 135" Race Twin cam engine will be an option for all Dyna and Touring models from 1999-2012, along with the 1991-99 Evolution HDs!!! 2.2 litre monster is built around a 4 5/16 x 4 5/8" bore and stroke, featuring extra thick engine cases, increased jug finning (cooling ^) and with app. intake/exhaust tuning should slam out 136hp and 135 lbs of torque!! Custom models will produce even MORE power and twist! I knew this day would eventually arrive. BIG V-Twins have been around for some time now, some even exceeding 200 hp. It was only a matter of time, economics and customer interest for these these big bore stompers to show up in Harley's. The days of underpowered HDs are at last over it would seem:eek: Confederate Hellcats are already utilizing a similar mill with their 132" S&S Wedge V-Twin. Pretty soon others will follow suit. I expect Victory will come out with something around 2+ litres soon as well. Can the Star/Yami's be far behind? A Raider with a 125+" would be cool.

Pretty soon the huge R3 motor may be no big deal. I have no doubt that if a market exists, manufacture of big block bikes will follow. Harley (along with Confederate and Bourget, etc.) is apparently leading the charge.
