Two cylinders arranged in a "V" configuration with on cylinder behind the
other. Harleys have a single crank pin for the connecting rods and these rods
are of a knife and fork design. Some of the "other" makes use dual crank pins
and "standard" connecting rods. Harleys tend to leak oil whereas the Japanese
bikes do not.

I submit that on this your son is full of prunes. MANY people use a rice-burner
as their primary tourer. Especially the Honda Goldwing. My chilli cooking
buddy, Les recently completed a 1500 mile tour down into the Rio Grande valley
of Baja Oklahoma ... on his Honda Shadow VTX 1300.

I have been riding motorcycles since I was 14 years old. I even came close to
buying a new Harley once. But, mostly I have owned Indians, British vertical
twins (cylinders side-by-side in an upright configuration) and laterly an
assortment of Honda and/or Kawasaki street beaters.
