You know...I got to thinkin'. It was a stretch, but I did it. Harleys have been around for years with around 50 hp until a few years back. Think about it...I know it's a stretch, but try it. A big ol' mc with a vibrating vee somewhere around 50 hp more or less and an image. With our little 352 lb bikes and around 30 hp or less, and our image, whatever it is. And those HD's top out close to where we do. I have consistently been surprised at the low top end speed of many super bikes of the last 30 years. By low I mean less than 120. Many were real tire shredding machines and canyon carvers with top speed in the 100 mph range. They ain't got nothing on us, especially with our Icy Hot/Ben-Gay holders and denture pouches.
