Bonneville America Forums Forums Off Topic Discussion Forums Lounge 2012 Triumph America or 2012 HarleyXL883L?

The three main reason why I would never buy a HD:

1. push rods
2. tappett valve
3. chain primary

All 1930 technology still being used at 2012 prices. The engine will not hold up in the comparison and it is even recommend for a tappett change out at 30,000 miles. What part of the engine is Triumph telling you to break down and replace at 30,000 miles?
