Bear power when Bertl does it
Two-liter V-Twin with official TÜV approval at Harley-Davidson Bamberg
It pushes, it pushes, it roars! Bertl's Harley Davidson Bamberg brings the legendary 120 cubic inch Screamin’ Eagle engine from the States and builds it into Softtail, Dyna or Touring models from 2007 onwards on request.
With its Screamin’ Eagle parts range, Harley-Davidson offers V-Twin fans everything they need to make their Harley not only more beautiful, but also more dynamic. A special treat in this range: the Screamin’ Eagle SE 120R engine, which until now has only been available to American Harley fans, but will now also be available to German Harley fans: Equipped with the finest Harley-Davidson race parts from the in-house Screamin’ Eagle Performance department, this engine knows no compromises when it comes to power.
Whether lightened flywheel, Teflon-coated forged pistons, titanium piston rings or performance-optimized camshafts, uncompromising racing technology lies behind the elegant exterior of this power plant. With a displacement of just under 2,000 cm, which is also suitable for mid-range cars3 the performance weapon pushes off as if it wanted to tear up the asphalt. But that's not all: the professionals around Bertl, alias authorized dealer Berthold Paukner, not only install this power pack professionally - further optimizations such as improved engine control mapping and an electronically flap-controlled exhaust system for high throughput provide that extra kick from 2,000 rpm.
Instead of dry figures, Bamberg prefers to let the engine speak for itself: No performance diagram, however beautifully printed, comes close to conveying the incomparable riding experience with which this power twin burns itself into the memory. But when it comes to engine tuning in Germany, performance is of course not everything: it is also really fun that the Screamin’ Eagle SE 120R engine, powered by Harley-Davidson Bamberg, can be duly noted in the papers.
Regardless of exhaust or noise values, Bertl's has had the machine extensively homologated in accordance with all legal requirements and can proudly claim to be Germany's only authorized Harley-Davidson dealer who can register this engine in the vehicle registration document with a watertight TÜV certificate.
