6pak Posted January 20, 2011 Share #1 Posted January 20, 2011 I got this link in my email today, it's for an early '80s designed HD that never made it to production. Too bad too, it looks pretty interesting. http://big-diesel.blogspot.com/2007/09/nova-harley-davidson-which-was-never.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyR Posted January 20, 2011 Share #2 Posted January 20, 2011 I've heard it claimed that Harley sold the design to Yamaha. Not sure if thats true or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBJ Posted January 20, 2011 Share #4 Posted January 20, 2011 I remember writing a thread about this two years ago . It was in along with a discussion about the V rod engine which was another step in the design process, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarlS Posted January 20, 2011 Share #5 Posted January 20, 2011 Last year at Bikes on the Bricks there was a V-4 shaft driven Harley. Thought I had pictures of it but can't find them. Maybe Straycatt has some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbug Posted January 21, 2011 Share #6 Posted January 21, 2011 I took a behind the scenes tour at HD museum last yr and asked about that bike and the guys that gave the tour was one of the guys that worked on it then. If I remember rite they were berry close to going into production and had around 7 mil in it and I think it was when the familynbought the company back they droped it. They have more than one and there is a warehouse on the top floor that is full of bikes and that's were I seen the first one and a few other bikes that never made the streets.
