who want the kind of performance no cruiser can match

Well, that may depend on your definition of performance,,,,

Until they change the overall design of the old 6, it won't be the fastest cruiser,,, if fastest is part of your 'performance' equation,,,,

Cruisers with 'traditional/conservative' designed 300cc chambers serviced by 2 valves red-lining at 6K are going to need at least 6 cylinders to 'keep up' with bikes a lot older than themselves.

Not slammin the 6,,, Just sayin it's a bit long in the tooth,,,
