Thumbs up What is MOST important? HP, Torque, or Displacement??
Hello Hello,

I'm in a marketing class and need to do a research project so why not do it on what I love? Motorcycles and Engines!

If you could help me answer what is most important for you when selecting a bike; hp, torque, or displacement by answering this 1 MINUTE survey i would really appreciate it!

http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/194231/take-survey-now-

Thanks for helping me out! I promise it's quick and painless

For me it is NONE of the above. It is how I feel when I sit in the saddle.

What he really needs you to do it fill out the survey, just posting on thread really dosen't help him that much, but then again posting it up on a HD forum is really going to bias his survey, we'll probably all have the same answers. It really only takes about 20 seconds though.

If it truely is NONE of the above, then you must be just sitting in the saddle... like in your sig pic.

But if that's not what your talking about... then what you're 'feeling' is called torque.
