A $72k V-Twin goes 200mph

Pretty awesome for a pushrod motor . . . Too bad there are so many OHC bikes around that run circles around it for less than $20k with a warranty. Makes pushrod motors look like not much performance when just looking at numbers.

Agreed. But when you throw a metric ton of cash at them you can get them to the top of the heap as in NHRA. Its the first turn at the end of the straight away that the pushrods have trouble.

I'll bet it still leaks oil

Ya, but just LOOK at it, I mean... Well, maybe not
