UH......how about technology for heavens sakes. You guys have some nice rides there but ANY late model sport bike is going to play havoc on you. You’re riding a antiquated piece of machinery there....sorry.

yeah, how the hell do they squeeze that much horsepower out of the smaller displacement engines? and the redlines at 14K, wtf?
just pisses me off, that's all, still love the harley but makes me think a bit more about getting another horse in the stable...
if i did, should i be worried that i'd spend all my time on the crotcher with all its nice amenities?
anybody got a sportster that'll give one of those ricers a run for its money? or thoughts on how to significantly lighten up my sporty?

first off, much more torque and horsepower than a sporty! second, wtf did you think was gonna happen against a crotch rocket? you didn't seriously think you actually had a chance did you? here's a hint, harley are cruiser bikes for a reason, to cruise not race crotch rockets, pop wheelies, and then whine about how you got beat and wonder why. lol
just switch to a crotch rocket!
just switch to a crotch rocket!

A modern, 125cc dirt bike like a KTM puts out something quite close to 40 HP. Of course, torque near idle is probably measured in inch-pounds. Nevertheless, my 1,584 cc stock V Twin puts out what, about 65 HP? And that's with about 12.67 times the displacement! So a mid sized, multi-cylinder engine designed to make horsepower will do just that.

off the line last night, pissed me off, just wanted to throw it out there.
wtf, how does a bike with a little over half the displacement absolutely torch what i thought was a pretty quick sporty?
why doesn't harley come out with a more bitchn stock engine or shave some weight here and there.
i'll stop my gripe, and no i don't want to "just change to a crotch rocket"
