V-twins are big on torque and short on HP...the price you pay for that Harley-esque exhaust note. But cruisers are about style, sound and looks, not peg scraping and knee dragging. As far as my sons friend goes, all I can say is there are worst types he could hang around with, so I dont complain. (but he could use some education)

LOL nothing HDesqe about the sound of mine. It sounds like a well oiled sewing machine and it's gonna stay that way I wanna keep my hearing

and they always talk about how lightweight the car is, and then say that since they have half of your engine size, you should be twice as fast.

LOL That's the exact reason I'm getting a smaller sportbike, cause I've got nothing to prove, and I would like to hear the things my kids do while they are growing up!!!
