1968 Harley-Davidson Servi-Car GE Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Harley-Davidson for the allround motorcycle segment, the 1968 Harley-Davidson Servi-Car GE pairs a 740 cc (45.2 cu in) v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 24 HP (17.5 kW) at 4,400 rpm. With a specific output of 32.4 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
