And that's with a very low 3.55 limited slip axle. With 3.73 or 4.10 gears the Harley would run deep into the sevens to 60. But the 3.55 is the right choice for economy and flexibility giving the Harley the ability to run near fifity in first and an easy 80 in second. The sound emitted from the exhaust is sweet, but a 70 mph on the highway, the engine slows to a very relaxed 2,000 rpm with a very muted wonderful murmur. There is nothing like a smooth, great sounding V-8.
Performance does demand a price.
It might have had something to do with the inability to refrain from getting into the go pedal. This Harley feels and sounds so good, it becomes like a magic potion and you can't get enough. But there is more. The lowered suspension and huge wheels and performance tires turns a good handling pickup into a literal sports car. The Ford Harley feels more like the Harley motorcycle.
