Yep might be faster, but you still look like a complete retard. Go park next to him at the bar, and see who's bike gets more attention.

Gold Wings are seriously fast. Somewhere around is a "Ride Behind" video (great website, BTW) of TWO going up Deal's Gap scraping hard parts all the way, but making outrageous time for something in that weight class.
Screw with a 'Wing on any air-cooled Harley at your own peril.

I worked an intersection in the North Texas Toy Run from American Honda on Saturday.
There is NO WAY to keep up with Wings once they take off, 'specially when you're riding a Honda Magna 750.
I could have joined the run as it passed, but I was so blasted cold I just went home and took a long, hot shower.
Pretty wimpy, huh?

Yeah, the 1800's will outrun a Lamborghini Diablo in the 1/4 mile. (Believe it or not)

Is this the norm or was this guy hiding something wicked beneath the plastic shell?

Wing's are great bikes but it's so smooth....it's a bit boring. No thumping v-twin involvement on a Wing. Some like that.......I personally don't so much.
But if you thing HD's have torque......try a Wing.......it's a torque MONSTER.
And a Diablo is still faster.........It will do a 12.0 119mph 1/4 mi.....Wing is more like mid 12's and under 110mph but not too far off.

Member the 903? I think a Z-1? Couple my buddies had those Kaws in the 70's One of their first 4 strokes,they'd do 11 sec flat right out a the box.

The new (then) EPA rules killed those old 2 cycle smokers. I can't imagine what kind of power inprovments would have been possible with 30 plus years of development time and todays electronic engine controls. Make a V-Max sit up and take notice.

The Wing's are flat 6 cylinder-1800ccs since 2001. Before that 1500cc 6 cylinders......Valkyrie's have this engine as well.

It is a widely known fact to me (a former japanese bike rider) that most japanese bikes that I have owned will outrun my tc88 harley. I didn't buy my bike for speed, but rather to cruise.

This guy MAKES videos....of SPORTBIKES, from his Gold Wing camera bike on "The Dragon" section of Deal's Gap. If anyone with an SE ANYTHING other than MAYBE a Buell wants to race him up the Gap, I wanna' watch! My money will be on the 'Wing, in any case.
