Technical Overview
1930 Harley-Davidson Model V Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 1930 Harley-Davidson Model V relies on a 1212.7 cc (74 cu in) v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 30 HP (21.9 kW) at 4,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive.
