"To be truly honest, after reading your posts. I am willing to bet you are looking at something like gixxer.com and getting your information from there. You are most likely cutting and pasting questions from that page or one similar to it onto this."
And you'd lose that bet. I don't think I've ever geen to gixxer.com. Actually I don't really frequent the bike boards too much anymore - too many idiots.
"Like I said I truly believe you have no idea what you are talking about. You guys all the sudden start talking about how hp doesn't give the whole story but sure were stuck on it a page or two back before I started bringing up torque."
I'm afraid you've confused my comments with someone else. I never said HP is everything, although I stand by my statement that as a stand-alone number it tells you a little more than a peak torque number. As for jumping around, we start talking about production bikes and you introduce your mystery Harley drag-strip winner, which despite being street legal sure sounds to me like its purpose built to run at the drag strip.
As for the rest of your comments, whatever. Just stick your fingers in your ears and go "la la la la I can't hear you." It's clear that you've got the usual Harley-fan myopia when it comes to performance.
If I got you confused with someone else then I offer my sincere apologies. I do admit I get lost sometimes trying to figure out who is posting to whom on this board.
