Between the Parker Brothers and the Big Wheel, I thought it was a toy. Well, it is. Just a big kid toy.

The guys at Parker Brothers Choppers are responsible for the awesome monstrosity that you see above – they call it the Huffy Green Machine and comes with an 80-cubic inch Harley Davidson Evo engine. That basic long-stroke 45-degree engine was a bad idea for an engine in 1910 or whenever they concocted it and it's still a bad idea, some things never change much.

Not a bad concept in general...but visibility is awful!

You probably wouldn’t want to ride it in the rain either.

The V-twin is basically one quarter of a radial engine, one of the best designs ever concocted.

They’ve been making the Evo since 1984.

Plus, a front blowout would likely be fatal.

Are you aware that during WW-II when the military needed reliable motorcycles for curriers, Harley was producing imitation BMW opposed and shaft driven bikes for four years, and then went straight back to building the same stupid garbage the day after the war ended? I mean, they tried running normal Harleys out in the desert in Arizona and after five minutes the real cylinder cooked itself (no air to rear cylinder with inline 45-V) and after ten minutes the sand tore the chain apart.

Never mind. Found it.
Of only 1000 XA's built, none ever saw combat, and only 30 are thought to still exist intact.
Meanwhile, the V-twin rolls on...
