Yep, roll on torque with the 103HO is pretty decent, especially with pipes/muffs/air cleaner/download, etc.

I do notice, however, that mine doesn't like anything below 93 octane. You can hear it when you goose the throttle when it's hot out.

Yeah, the new motors are pretty smooth and powerful. I was rolling down the highway with the cruise set at 80. I had my earplugs in and everything was smooth as silk. I happened to glance down at my tach and noticed the needle hovering well north of the usual 2800ish RPMs. Nothing destructive, but certainly higher than I usually cruise at. I shifted up to 6th and settled in for another 100 miles. Yep. Great bikes.

I was racing a Nissan GTR with my Stage 1 103 and we were neck and neck. My bike is pretty fast for a cruiser.

Yep. I was talking to John Force the other day and he kept sayin' how fast his fuelie was. I says, "So, lets race for pinks" and he says "you're on." Needless to say I'm now the owner of a top fuel dragster. Oh, and I won the Tour de France too.
