mpg around town; 80 mpg on the open road.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Newer scooters (and I
suspect bikes as well) have given up the carburetor for fuel
injection -- to meet current emission standards. Result is far
greater reliability.</p>

<p><b>Engine/Drivetrain</b></p>
<p>- 1312cc liquid-cooled 52-degree V-twin delivers strong low-end
and mid-range torque, with ample power for passing and relaxed
cruising.</p>
<p>- Powerplant features a single-pin crankshaft to accentuate the
VTX engine's character.</p>
<p>- Dual two-axis primary counterbalancers minimize harsh engine
vibration without eliminating the powerful pulse transmitted by
the VTX's traditional V-twin design.</p>
<p>- The engine mounting system uses carefully matched hangers to
eliminate unwanted vibration, while preserving the powerful
character of the V-twin engine.</p>
<p>- Three-Valve Dual Plug Combustion Chamber (see Technology
Section) </p>
<p>- Easy-to-service screw-and-locknut valve clearance adjusters.</p>
<p>- Single 38mm constant-velocity carburetor offers crisp throttle
response at all engine speeds.</p>
<p>- Electronic control unit (ECU) provides 3-D ignition maps for
each cylinder, creating ideal spark advance settings for superb
rideability. </p>
<p>- Coolant-heated carburetor improves rideability and ensures
smooth operation in cold conditions.</p>
4.8-gallon fuel tank for extended cruising and touring range. @
45-50mpg..<br>
