That 426 Hemi displacement is no joke – 7.0 liters of pure American muscle. The horsepower figures from factory were conservative compared to what these engines actually produced. A well-maintained example would be an absolute thrill to drive.
The International Maritime Organization is implementing stricter emission regulations. This will force the industry to transition eventually. But diesel will likely dominate for at least another decade.
I work in maritime logistics, and I can confirm that diesel infrastructure is unbeatable. Every major port worldwide has diesel fuel available. Try finding LNG bunkering facilities everywhere and you’ll see the problem immediately.
That exhaust note though… one of the best reasons to own this bike. The parallel twin has such a distinctive sound. Anyone else love that engine sound?
