That's a Bad ass bike, but I'm quite happy with my 2001 customized Sportster. All the power I need.

Don't put NOS on a Harley you spoil it

Likewise I just got an 08 sportster it has all the grunt I want, and need & it's American!

Ive got a 1200 sporty,And it's plenty of power and torque as far as i'm concerned it's a better cruiser style bike than what japan offers for cruisers,I like the low end grunt,the weight and handling,Horse power is hardly a measure of what a good bike is or isnt,The only thing the rockets have over a Harley is speed,Handling?depends on how stupid somebody gets,push the bike past it's limits or your own skill it wont do u any good

I also can't understand why people are comparing two types of motorbikes. People are different so they have different feelings and different bikes. I like cruisers and my friend supersports. And we have no problems with it, everyone likes something...

Why would you compare a crotch rocket to a cruiser and use that comparison as means to prove japanese bikes are superior? 2 different bikes for 2 different approaches to riding,Harley's are overrated for sure,But they are underrated as well,usually by folks who have never ridden for more than 5 minutes or 5 miles

it may not have the horsepower munbers you would like to see but i bet it has monsterous torque numbers that no jap bike has

Stock, out the showroom, 22 more horse vs. harley with nitrous.. I understand the cruiser theory, but it weights a ton. You'de think guys that like that noise would like a set of balls with it? Trust me, I like a nice road bike, just with an S&S! Those Harleys are terriably over-rated! I think you would agree they aint worth $20,000 +. Its just an image thing that people have to portrey. Lets try the busa on the bottle! Thats my opinion.. Build your own bike, that would be bad ass!!

what are you talking about? Its a cruiser! Even the Hayabusa only gets 166 hp and its a sport bike. and this bike has what crotch rockets don't... Style. Of course thats my opinion

It dont take much to handle a japanese bike,i still have my 85 GPz,My 90 ninja,And i just bought an 600 honda F4 that a snot nosed kid couldnt handle and smashed all the plastic,He cant make the payments either,so guess what? i through in my old JAWA moped for the deal,Now he and his 3 friends who used to have 'Busas' can take turns,learnin how to handle a two wheeler,of course he wanted to borrow the training wheels off my 7yr olds pedal bike
