It's fuel injected and it runs sweet. He even has some sort of performance module in there. How much HP does that 800 V-Twin have. I tried to find out over the internet, but I can't get any info on that. Acceleration is about the same, but on top end his pulls away.
The C50 was the Volusia prior to 2005. Visit

Me too! If I'm remembering right, I saw somewhere that it's stock rating is in the neighborhood of 50hp, but don't quote me on that. It won't win you any races, but it can get you moving quick enough, and seems happy cruizing anywhere from 50mph up to 80, although the gearing's a little low to go much over that for long distances. In fact, a lot of people swap out the rear gears for better ratios.
Back to the subject at hand. If they came out with a TU650, I'd be all over that. The 250 looks great, but don't think they'd haul me around on the freeway real good.
I'd also love to see FI on the Savage, and I think they'd keep selling enough of them to pay for the investment of making the modifications to the design. Heck, they never seem to keep them on the floors the way they are now!
And I'd also noticed that the Vulcan 500 is gone now. I've seen some old stock ones at a couple dealers still. If they're around this time next year, a person could probably get a real good deal on one!
