Guys, Harleys are made for cruising not top speed,
wanna go fast buy an R1 or similar bikes,

not a Harley.

I cant see the fun of reaching +100mph in HDs,

but yes its hell of fun reaching +180 mph
in sports bikes or cars!

That is one of the dumbest things I ever heard!

If I wanted a friggin' sport bike, I would've bought one.

Hell no, I wanted a Harley. I didn't want to break the sound barrier,

I wanted a Harley.

I didn't want to do 150mph wheelies, I wanted a Harley.


I didn't want to sit on my ***** with my legs folded up,


I wanted a Harley.

I didn't want to listen to a 13,000rpm buzzsaw,

I wanted a Harley.

How about this, you do what you want on your bike

and I'll do what I want on mine.

If I want to occasionally venture north of 100mph,

that's my business.
Well put Craig.

Thanx.

Hey Mud what I was trying to say is that my Dyna is not set up for high speeds like say a Busa or a GSX1000. These bikes havehigh speed rated tires, full farings, 12 piston brikes up front and ect, ect, ect. You can get up 100mph on these bikes in first gear and not even know it. I've gone 120 on my Busa (Just getting into 2nd gear) and she's stable as hell. If you try that on your Dyna (maybe in 5th gear) you'll know you're going that speed. I know my Dyna will go 110 or 120mph, but it was not made for that.

A perfectly good motorcycle was wasted when you decided to buy it.

When I pull over a huyabusa in my Interceptor doing 120 I tell him to slow down. When I pull over a Harley barely making 110, I throw him or her in the back seat and then decide whether to impound the bike or not!
