Talking Rev-limits?

Why not just purchase a crotch rocket? You can get 10,000 RPM's with them. Better yet, get a V-Rod. That should be PLENTY of power and RPM.

Why having the rev to 7k is considered going for a crouch rocket ?
I love my 48 and love speed and power as well
Some Harley fans like it with 40-60 HP and some 100+ HP
It doesn't mean that they shouldn't have Harley's
A sportster with 100+ HP is to me a fun ride slow or fast and a cool sleeper
Don't get me wrong I'm not saying go fast but to have something like that is fun fun fun
My 2c

Thanks for your reply. So, I am curious, as one of the few places on Earth that I would leave the USA to visit abroad is Israel, what is is like to ride a Harley over there like? I have a 2008 Nightster with a stage 1 and from the T.V. shows that I have seen of the Landscape there, never did I feel that I could ride a scoot over there. Could you describe the "experiences" you have had while cruising? Much appreciated. Even post some pics or video would be awesome. Thanks and happy scooting!

If you plan to go to Israel with your bike you need to know that you are going to have to adjust to riding here it's just not the same as Europe or the us
The roads are not as wide and traffic can be tricky and congested
But the landscape is something else you can go north to the mountains or south to the dead sea or Eilat you can visit Jerusalem some nice twisty roads there
Or go to Nazareth
It will be a nice experience I think
Hope it helps

Not that meny Harley's here but it's a nice community we have a Friday meeting every week and some club trips from time to time
To ride a Harley here is as special as in any place I think
Maybe you get more jealous looks here or some rispect as you are different
You are welcome

That would be awesome. If I ever get a chance, you bet i would like to give it a try there. Israel holds a special place in my heart as it may be a 'dangerous' place, but one i would take the chance on. thanks again. PS; I ONLY LIVE TWENTY OR THIRTY MILES FROM THE famed DRAGON's tail.

Revs don't always mean more power.
