harley superbike?
emoed a CVO limited with 114. Really the first time I rode a stock Harley with superbike power. This engine is really beastly. Plenty of low end torque. Immense run on power. Very impressed.

ROTFL! Until the MoCo comes out with a motor that can turn at 12K+ RPM AND put out 180+ HP AND a bike that weighs in at under 400 lbs, it will be hard pressed to call it a "Superbike".

Thanks for this, I didn't want to be too hard on the OP, apparently he's never ridden a REAL superbike on a track...Not that I wouldn't be interested in a real or even near Harley superbike. Even the Buells can't come close...

All that matters is that you are happy, but the 114 is unfortunately not a super bike. The 114 is rated at 101 horsepower, perhaps a little more with a good tuner and dyno. To put that into perspective, (and I hate to admit it) my wife's 2015 Can Am Spyder F3 1330 is 115 horsepower, 97 pounds torque, revs to 10,000 rpm, and is about the same weight as my 2016 RGS. I had a 2006 Honda ST1300 that was about 120 horsepower. I've also owned a Honda CBR1000rr, and none of Harley's factory offerings approach a bike in that category. I sure miss that CBR. I ride my Harley because it's comfortable and I like it, it's certainly not for performance. If I wanted performance I'd go with the aftermarket. Oh, and don't race a 2015 Can Am Spyder F3.
