Harley Davidson SE 120 R

Harley Davidson has shown in recent days the last engine developed in its historic factory in Milwaukee: This is the SE 120 R, V-Twin engine with a displacement of 120 cubic inches (about 1966 cc) capable of providing a power maximum of 135 hp at 6000 rpm and maximum torque of 185 Nm at 3800 rpm (the values recorded at the wheel with the engine tested on a chassis Dyna 2009 with modified intake and exhaust).

The acronym stands for IF Screamin ‘Eagle, a company whose catalog were taken from the special parts used in the engine, some of which are for racing, as indicated by the letter R is meant precisely to emphasize the fact that the new engine will be Harley Davidson also used in competition.

Indeed, according to the technicians of the American home, it would be suitable for both the racing and off-road, which would seem very surprising unless you consider “off-road racing to dirt track where the U.S. still use the same engines Harley. As for the track but you think maybe the races of the dragster in confidence cruiser motorcycles with two cylinders with two valves (to understand the categories that do not assemble Suzuki Hayabusa powered turbine engines, etc.) or the short track, even if the couple seems too good to be able to manage during the drift.

However, the new SE 120 R is available now at Harley Davidson but it is limited and can only be mounted on the Dyna, Softail and Touring models built from 2006 onwards.
