"You mean the Evo motor that still uses a separate transmission, which adds weight, complexity, cost and size? The one they are in the process of dumping in favor of the Milwaukee Eight?

I’d rather have a Victory/Indian. More modern design and more US made parts. Lots of Chinese bits on a Harley these days."

The Evo you guys are speaking of was phased out in year 2,000 in favor of the Twin Cam 88. Now there is an Evo in today's Sportster that has the benefits you mentioned, single case and all, and is probably the most reliable of the whole bunch.... probably should have just built upon that for their bigger twins.

Oh, Polaris has announced the closing down of the Victory line. The company is shifting its focus to the Indian line.

Yeah, the end of Victory was foregone, but there’s a lot of people that know Victory that don’t know Indian is back (that I’ve found.) Hence why I used both names.
