S&S?...I believe they're in Erik's neck of the woods (LaCrosse, Wisc)... also saw a pix of KC (Kevin Cameron) over there (S&S)... a not too big company that is quick on it's feet with innovation and a need to share in the success of a new project in a different area of motorcycling...

I think E-B-R should consider working with S&S in spite of their working with Kevin Cameron.

S&S is Harley, for all intents and purposes, imo

They clone a Harley engine, soup it up a bit, polish it up a bit........

Would be a giant step backwards in my mind.

Motus = American Motoguzzi. Never thought that engine design was appropriate for motorcycles. Puts the widest part of the V of the engine right between your knees

might as well just put in a honda 1.8L vtech out of an accord.....

whose to say that S&S couldnt build an engine with DOHC and 4V per cylinder with a 12k redline or more...S&S has the finances and the equipment to do so...i remember an article a little while ago where S&S mentioned working with E-B-R and helping them in anyway that they could.

Sounds Interesting...

Not saying they can't build it, any good machine shop could.

Can they engineer it? Can they develop it?

If Erik Buell Racing works with them with their engineers and collaborate with S&S's decades of experience....i bet they can develop something quite incredible. take what they know from the Helicon and make it better : )

It's true that S&S has done that, but that's not ALL they've done. They developed the X-Wedge engine from scratch with a completely different architecture and details than the Harley-based air-cooled V-twins.

S&S obviously has some real engineering talent in-house.

Back to the original subject. The value of 1125's may not increase if it halted the free fall in value that might be enough.
