![]() ![]() Among the countless engine refinements are: a new three-piece crankshaft that replaces the old-style five-piece unit, pistons that are lighter despite being larger than the lOOOcc Sportster's, and hydraulic valve tappets like those used in Harley's Big Twins.It would seem, then, that Harley-Davidson has successfully served both of its very demanding masters. And while the 1100 engine, aside from its re-styled top-end and primary cover, doesn't really look all that much different than previous Sporty motors, almost half of its components have been redesigned or improved in some way. ![]() The cylinders and cylinder heads are alloy rather than cast-iron, and the heads employ narrower valve angles and more-efficiefit port shapes that permit more power than with previous Sportster heads. Both incorporate the Sportster range's first incarnation of Harley's "Evolution" top-end technology. The 1100 has an 8.9mm-larger bore (85.1mm, as opposed to 76.2mm on the 883) that, with the same 96.8mm stroke, yields a total of 1 lOlcc it also has slightly larger valves that help feed its additional displacement.Otherwise, the 883 and the 1100 are virtually identical, mechanically, at least. But beneath it all, the 1100 still is a traditional H-D through and through.There also is little difference between the XLH 1100 and the 883 Sportster we previewed in our August, 1985, issue. Not only does it incorporate some fairly extensive changes in its 45-degree V-Twin engine, it also is the largest-displacement Sportster ever built, and one of the fastest. That helps explain why improvements to Harley-Davidsons are gradual and slight rather than major, newsmaking events.Considering those kinds of limitations, Harley's 19 Sportster, is almost revolutionary. As one of the oldest motorcycle manufacturers still in business, Harley has a powerful lot of history and tradition behind it-so much so that the company has been forced to choose between regularly changing its motorcycles to attract new buyers, and leaving them unchanged so as not to offend the loyalists who prefer the bikes just the way they are. Someone at Harley-Davidson could just as well have written those words of wisdom. ![]() ![]() Road TestA RUSSIAN PROVERB SAYS THAT if you dwell on the past you lose an eye, but if you forget the pasi you lose both eyes. Producing 53 and 63 horsepower respectively, both versions were coupled to a four-speed gearbox. Either 883 or 1100 were seen in the latest XLH model, providing a new level of fitment for the smaller or beginning rider.
