[QUOTE="Rajder, post: 1871773, member: 11636"] I agree that categorizing Harley guys into a group of people that pull in from of you is wrong. But you can't seriously be saying that most metric V-twins don't have the power of Harley's can you? Because you obviously have never ridden any metric V-twin bigger than 650cc before. I'm sorry but HD makes about the least powerful bikes on the road. My current ride is a Victory and while it is considerably more powerful than anything HD sells it still doesn't hold a candle to any of the metric Big Twins. IMHO the best V-twin on the market today is the Yamaha 113". It makes the kind of low end torque that only Harley's and an extra $5000 can dream of. Most HD's put down around 65 HP and 75 Ft-lbs in stock configuration and maybe 85 Ft-Lbs in screaming eagle config. The metric big twins are putting out over 100 ft-lbs out of the box. I'm not trying to turn this into a HD bashing thread because I really do like the bikes and think they have their place (I've owned a few of them). But are you saying they perform better than the metric bikes? That's just crazy talk... :) [/QUOTE]
