You know, the specs aren't much different from the Heritage Softail. The 96 inch HD engine actually turns faster, first time that a Triumph didn't outrev a big twin Harley.



Ya know GB, at first after reading this part of your post I said to myself, "Nah! That can't be right? The T-Bird has DOHCs, and so it HAS to rev higher than a Big Twin!!!"

But THEN I scrolled back to to the supposed T-Bird specs shown above and read the following...

"Maximum Power EC1 86.0PS / 84.8bhp / 63.2kW @ 4850rpm"

...that's RIGHT...at "4850rpm"!!!

And then I said to myself EITHER that's a misprint, OR there's somethin' kind'a weird goin' on here!!! How can THAT be?! That sure seems to be a rather short powerband for a DOHC engine!!!

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)
