I have to agree on that, They are simple, and seem to be a good technology that has been working out well. Not to mention they are very very price competitive in comparison to other 150's out there. There is roomer going around that they may expand this motor into a 175 or 200 hp possibly! Now that would be the cats meow if they keep the price about the same. These are a great option for those looking twins that are light weight and a lot of people are using these in that application with good results. I heard they will not want to dump the v-rod low horse power motors for theses too, but if they become popular like it is trending they will do it if there is money there to be made. Everything else is going super high tech, give me a good reliable simple motor at a good price point and that will be marketable.
