Ducati 1098 has over 160HP Still pales to the Ducati 1299 at 205HP. Most powerful production V-twin to date.

Looks like a Ducati. These with some Screaming Eagle parts and a supercharger would haulass.

"Built on a Harley Davidson unit and top notch component" - isn't that an oxymoron?

Considering it was the V-Rod engine which was a joint Harley/Porsche/Erik Buell unit, no I think it’s safe to say it was top notch. These bikes were wild, it’s a shame that 08’ got them.

For a 2 cylinder US built bike it's highly advanced. 2001 V-rod 120hp and 280kg. 2001 Suzuki GSX-R1000 (with 10% lower capacity) 160hp and 170kg. The V-Roehr was a bit better than a stock Harley at 180hp and 193kg. The Kawasaki ZRX1200R was a ho hum sports bike of the same vintage with specs not too far from the Roehr bike but at about $10,000.

Or just go back to 1980s tech. 2 stroke Moto GP bikes 500cc 200hp 300lb Entire Bike dry, not just engine

The VROD Revolution 1130cc and 1250cc engines were the collaboration between Harley Davidson and Porche.and in my opinion is the very best engine to come from Harley Davidson ever !

Great video. I don’t understand his engine choice. That engine weighs 200 pounds. That’s a bad start rite away.

Maybe the reason for less interest from bike enthusiast is because it looked too much like a Ducati . Wonder why Roehr didn't spend time to design a totally fresh bodywork .

Excellent video, how about doing a video on the ‘other’ oddball American sport bike, the Fischer MRX?

MotoGP needs a rule update so we can get on with the development of forced induction, small-engined (lightweight) motorcycles. It’s a shame that I can buy an economy car with a turbo, and also that F1 was running turbos decades ago. MotoGP (and the street bikes to follow) would be amazing if we had 300 bhp 500cc motorcycles that weighed 300 lbs. Some of my biker friends say “they already tried turbos in the 80’s, and it didn’t work out. Well- those were that analog days, modern day technology could tame and control a modern day turbo or supercharged bike. Think about it- a 500cc twin or triple making Liter-class power! Kawasaki is the only company selling a forced induction bike. I’m sure if the effort was made, they would be the greatest and best selling bikes ever made!

They already did that in the 1980s except they were way more powerful than a turbo 4 stroke. They were 2 stroke GP bikes. 500cc 200hp and the entire bike weighs less than 300lbs dry. That's what most 4 stroke engines weigh that make 200hp
