Having owned several Harleys in the past my last bike was a Yamaha Vmax and the bike was a lot of fun was manageable yet a complete riot when you felt the need. That being said I was pleasantly surprised when entering freeway onramp on my slim and wasn't really trying but caught second and bike started fishtailing laying rubber hit third with a nice chirp and was on my way. Luckily the *** end didn't try and come out since you're essentially riding a lounge chair with the forward controls.

I'm thinking there was some sand, gravel, oil or something of that sort on the ground to cause that fishtailing. These engines are certainly torquey but they aren't breaking-the-tire-loose-at speed-without-even-trying torquey.
