[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1871106, member: 5412"] I always wanted to own a Harley spare parts shop. No overhead. Just go out on the highway and find the spare parts that vibrated off of those dinosaurs. Don't know about the newest ones, but my 76 Gold Wing would hit 130+ mph, and do it quickly. Pure bike, no bags, nothing. The difference in the flat twin of the gold wing, and the bmw, was the gold wing has a 25 lb counterweight that runs in the opposite direction of the engine to overcome the engine torque that makes the bmw squirrley on hard aceleration. Maybe thats been changed on the new models. It used to be wierd watching them from the rear when they were getting it on hard. Frame torquing and all. [/QUOTE]
