If I only had $5700 laying around....

 

Have read many articles by mr.woodring.this guy knows his sht and is always very informative.

 

Good read.....Thanks.

There is a bagger in town with a 120R in it and its a fire breather. That 120R actually has me thinking about a BT now.

 

Thx for the info. Too bad i cannot afford one

 

That motor sounds to me like Harley is saying, lets sell a motor with marginal HP and torque, for big bucks ,with no warranty because our customers are loyal and will buy anything we sell. I had my old evo motor re manned a few years back, and after it was all said and done, I could have bought a after market motor with more hp and torque, longer warranty, for about the same $$$. Check Ebay and you'll find bigger and badder motors for less.Harley gets $5700 just to get started, then they offer better performance parts? Makes as much sense as there V-rod destroyer, $26 k for a possible[depending on the rider] 9 second bike that wasn't street legal. Sounded good until most people that wanted to go fast realised, you can buy a Hyabusa for $6500 .Its just as fast and its street legal.,,

 

Good read... Thanks for posting.
