Having ridden a pan, a shovel, an evo and now a twin cam, I have no problem with the performance of my current bike, not to mention the reliability. I think it's natural for us to always want more, it makes us want to tinker and sqeeze every drop of power out of an engine. With the pipes, AC and P/C, I have plenty of power to haul myself and a passenger through the mountains atlegal (and sometimes illegal) speeds.

 

Was he a Del Fuego?

To be honest I just do not recall, we were in the car 12 hours coming home. My wife seems to thinkwe werein Shiprock NM that's all we remember.

 

The only person I heard "CRY" Was your **** when I showed her how a REAL HARLEY MAN rivs her engine.

 

I currently ride a 2003 VTX1800S Great bike, more power than I will ever need looks sharp but.......
average30 mpg unless I want to lay out the big bucks for a fuel management system, and the stock seat is no prize because after a 300 mile ride my and my wifes a$$ is looking for lazyboy once again big bucks to upgrade. Last month we rented a 2007 Electra Glide Classic for a couple of days totaly stock, no complaints from the wife and she was sorry we had to return it, last week we ordered a 08 Ultra Classic for delivery next April.

 

Trade the HD for 2 something elses...... Dosn't work the other way though!

 

HD Attitude,
Are you on this forum just to cause trouble and get attention? Why would you do that? Is your life that f**ked up and boring? By the way it's rev not riv. Troll

 

I think we could ask you the same question sense you threw the first stone. HELLO !
Ahe said [sm=massbounce.gif]OH YEA [sm=massbounce.gif] OH YEA [sm=massbounce.gif] OH YEA.

 

I, for one, am glad the OP started this thread. I get so tired of people just blindly accepting the common wisdom that all metrics are faster or more powerful than HD's.It's true that people looking for true speed shouldn't be looking in this class of motorcycles, but since so many people seem to think that HD is "behind the times" with their bikes, it's about time somebody put up some actual facts. I certainly understand that not everybody wants what HD has to offer, but I think quite a few people make the decision to buy another brand of cruiser because they think they are getting more performance for less money. They may be spending less, but generally they aren't getting more. Heck, the MSRP's of the other manufacturer's top line/comparable cruisers aren't all that far apart from HD prices these days.

 

It's since, not sense.

 

I don't want to go 188mph on 2 wheels, and I don't want to do the quarter mile in less than 10 seconds on 2 wheels.

My Harley has "cool".
