Then I won't buy it. Like I said, we all don't ride the same road. I want a bike that's slammed to the ground with the seat a mere 24" off the ground, 12" apes putting my hands at shoulder height, saddlebags, and room for touring bag. The same bike pictured in my profile page. That's the ride I want.
As for speed. I recently brought my engine in a bit with milder cams and reverse dome pistons. My original build with hot cams and domed pistons was just too hot (imho) for street use. I could break the rear wheel free in almost any gear with a twist of a throttle. Way more than needed or wanted. As it stands now, the bike is still a lot faster than I am.
1966 technology? Digital ignitions with multiple curves are 1966 technology? Here I thought they were still using points and condensers in 1966.
Sorry if any of my postings seem offensive. Allot of my riding buds ride harleys. They respect my bike and I respect theirs. But as soon as they give me this "real bike" crap, I show them what 13,000rpm, DOHC, 4cyl, fuel injected 396lbs looks like from the rear.
And if speed is important to you, I'm sure that means something. It doesn't mean a thing to me. I want to able to out accelerate Mrs. Jones sedan for safety reasons, and that's about it. Other than that, I'm never the least bit bothered when anyone passes me. That's not my road.
