I see what you're saying Tim, but in today's global interaction and sharing of enterprise, I think it's easy to exaggerate the importance of the Porsche assist with the developement of the V-Rod's engine to such a degree as to wish to claim it as a "Porsche".
You brought up the name Ford to make your point. In that case, the fabled Ford GT40 that sweep Le Mans in the mid and late 1960s really isn't or wasn't a "real" Ford either, if you'd hold to your argument here, as the british firm of Lola was most involved in the creation of that fantastic automobile, and this was years before this global interaction that I mentioned above was to become commonplace.
