Ah, Dwight, I was really referring to my recent trip to the dark side upon obtaining a 1995 Evo powered HD. I find myself riding it more often that the America precisely because of the awesome torque. Both bikes have similar horsepower ratings at around 60HP (and this FXDS handles very similarly as well) but I find myself agreeing with Bronko's Speed Shop (and ignoring the vibration):
Quote:
*HORSEPOWER VS TORQUE*
Don't be misled by the constant emphasis placed on peak hp numbers at maximum rpm. This is not where most of your typical riding is done. Be more concerned with peak torque numbers and the rpm where maximum torque is produced. We are more concerned with the "area under the graph" after a dyno run to see how a bike is performing in real world riding conditions. Torque is what makes a bike fun to ride (not revving to 6500 rpm every shift for maximum hp). Remember: horsepower is an illusionary mathematical equation - torque is real and is everything that is good in the universe!"
