Cool, I was hoping people wouldn't take it like I was some domestic-sportin' redneck taking a stab at imports (even though I am a domestic-sportin' redneck).
Seriously though, Harley made the first OHV engine back in '48 and really have not changed the design significantly since. You can still get bikes with ancient suspension technology, like my springer, and mock rigid rear ends, like my springer. They really are classy, old school bikes.
"What they lack in fast they make up in class," I'm sure you've heard it before.
