Now that I think about it, I wouldn't mind having the torque figures on my BA that the long throw Harley engines have. But it does come with a cost. And that is the narrow power-band that they have. Every once in a while my buddy Phil, who has among his collection a '95 Road King, and I will exchange bikes on a ride somewhere. And while the torque on his Harley is impressive, I tend get a little frustrated that the redline on his bike is relatively low, and that there isn't much power to be had after taching the sucker much past 5,000RPM.

Comfortable beast, though.


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
