"It doesn't matter how fast your motor is spinning it matters on how fast your bike is moving."
WTF is that sentence supposed to mean?
So you're putting down 130 ft-lbs at 3000 rpm. That's 71 HP. Respectable, to be sure. How long could you keep riding the bike wide open, I wonder, before it seized from overheating? What's the redline? How bad is the vibration on this big paint-shaker of yours?
And still none of these bikes could beat a decent 600 race replica in a drag race.
And as far as outfits like Big Dog goes, if they were producing anything other than the currently politically popular big American cruisers, I doubt if they'd ever get them past EPA regs.
**WTF is that sentence supposed to mean? **
Uh that it dosn't matter how fast your motor is spinning(which is rpm's) it matters on how fast your bike is moving which is mph. We could go a step further and talk about how quickley they get up to that speed but I am afraid it might be too much for ya. You do realize that your rpm gauge isn't a speedo right? *snickers*

Well first of all if I am putting down that kind torque as opposed to hp then I am most likely riding a diesel. Also 3000 rpms isnt wide open not even close the redline is about 6500. Not much vibration since I have a machine shop do all my porting, polishing and balancing for me. It's not a paintshake it's a ground pounder.

I truly hope you are kidding with this statement if not then you we really don't have much to talk about until you learn a little bit more about the subject.

All their models are now built to pass the 2006 epa regs so here is something else you might want to read up on.
