Per your question John, 1200 Harley is over 70HP and over 60lbs of torque or reversed, I forget.
Many members here say they beat and some say spank the 1200 Sportster. I can't get close and ride next to them several times a month. They have much more thump than my America under 80 MPH.
You are right Phil. We don't get 13 more horses for $500.00, thats for sure.
