2004 Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 Engine View

Both motors pay excellent homage to the original versions. To tame vibrations in the pumped-up Sportster, Harley-Davidson introduced rubber engine mounts for '04. Generally, they work well at reducing the V-twin's most objectionable vibrations. The Triumph's engine is a more contemporary design, with dual overhead cams and twin balance shafts. It's much smoother than any vintage Bonnie.
