I agree that the liquid cooling is more advances but is it really better? My C50 is a hell of and engine. That said if I want to modify it I am stuck with in the parameters of the designer. If I want to build in any extra horse power I am stuck with a cooling system that is just right for 53.2 HP. Any more power and I will cook it thermally or give it fits. Yamaha and HD on the other hand with their air cooled units can handle the higher HP and that why there are so many mods for them that give real power. And both companys catoluges have the kits to make tons of power. Cooling is just not and issue with a air cooled engine unless you are tied up in traffic and there are ways around that too! Just my .02 worth.
