LOL, maybe some truth to that. Pulled over once on my harley and i speed alot. Cop let me off with a mild warning to take it easy and enjoy the ride(something like that). Cops seem to not care if your speeding on a harley???...just my experience.

yup same double standard when it comes to noise ordinance enforcement blasting rap music you get a ticket blast by on open piped harley you get a thumbs up. thankfully here in town somone successfully fought a noise ticket and the police department pledged to worry about more important things.....

I'm about the same. I have no respect for Harley's design, 50 or so horsepower from damn near 2 liters is pathetic and the torque does not make up for it when you compare it to the metric cruisers/tourers.

Having said that, they're made for a different purpose than what I use my bike for.
Just like comparing sports cars to minivans, it's apples and oranges.

Its all gearing. my sportster does about 45mph in first gear at 6000rpm. When you consider most sportbikes do about 60-80mph in first at 14,000rpms you notice theres a huge gear reduction that gives them that acceleration. In effect the harley if it could rev to 14000 rpms it would do about 110mph in first gear. Thats all good and well, you have no respect and obviously it wont change your mind but ide love to race you on any metric cruiser comparable to my sportster since you stated yourself that compairing YOUR bike to a harley is like compairing apples to oranges or sportscars to minivans. lets race minivans, ill give you a headstart.

1. I think the R6 does about 100 in first (or was that shit4life saying that)

2. a Harley reving to 14000? shit... I wouldn't put my balls anywhere near that motor...
