I'll tell you one thing about a metric bike. It hits the rev limiter a lot faster than a HD. They rev so much quicker. At WOT its hard to grab the gears fast enough on the 1-2 change and the 2-3 change. Its not the V-Twin design that revs slower cause my M109R revs as quick or quicker than the B. The HD just revs slower by design. That Harley makes a lot of noise and a lot of vibration. That has nothing to do with speed. I'm sure its fast for a Harley. It won't run with the B.
    Lets not forget that Honda did a proper V Twin - the 2005 Honda RC51 is a proper VTwin making about 133Hp and 72? torque.
    I had that bike for 11 years and 62,000 miles and always gave me a smile. The only thing I replaced was oil, gas, tires and a couple of chains.

    That bike really revved really fast until 9500 rpm and the bike saw many times 170 mph.

    However, she is carbureted and when the global EMP hits, she might still work.

    It's like lettuce and cabbage. They kinda look the same, kinda feel the same, but they are two completely different entities.

    I've never ridden a harley, but have sat on quite a few. They just never felt comfortable even sitting still with the engine off. I guess being a part of the club is wonderful for those who bought into the "harley experience".

    I love my F6B, and don't need the $45 harley t-shirt to have a great time riding.
