Actually the German designed V-Rod engine is a beautiful piece of work for a V twin. From accounts I've read, it's a great power plant searching for a equally competent chassis to put it in. HD could have a winner on their hands if they put the R&D into developing something like Buell for that engine.
As far as other V twins, there are several companies that make excellent engines. Rotax (Bombardier), KTM, Cagiva and Ducati are a few. Not to mention all of the great Japanese brands that have managed to massage the old V twin design into powerful, smooth, reliable power plants.
