I have a "strong running" 80in EVO and I guarantee you that a 2017 107 Streetglide
will walk all over it. Suggest you ride one before you comment.

Yeah I'll say the stock 107 in the new ones would out pull my shovel and it's embarrassed a lot of 103 & 107 twinkie owners.

The new engine delivers the power differently than the twin cam and the increase is just a little on paper, by feel it is substantially different and much much better.
The CVO has 114". The regular version has 107"

Demo'd the CVO 114 Street Glide today...that motor is a beast...
BTW...I also rode a 107 Road Glide and hated the bike. Front end felt like a marshmallow...big, boaty and not that comfortable ergonomics...and I'm not a tall guy. Good power on the 107 though...but almost anything is better than my little 96...

The obvious answer is that the hp number is not impressive for very heavy bikes.
The second reason is that HD makes a huge amount of $$ selling aftermarket upgrades that are added to the already hefty price at the time of build or sale. The sales people are skillful in convincing a buyer 1. that the bike they are buying is the best bike on the planet, and then immediately they are able to 2. convince the buyer that buy spending an additional ton of money, it will really "wake up" the bike.

For those of you that like numbers, above are the numbers for a Triumph Trophy, 1215cc touring bike. And it is 650lbs.

Liked the motor, but it really didn't feel that much stronger than my 103 Stage 1. I'm sure it was faster, but it sure wasn't night and day. I guess I just expected more. If I needed a new bike, I'd be thrilled with an M8, but I don't need a new bike...

Maybe the Tq numbers were not up to snuff for some of you on the Triumph Trophy touring bike. Want to talk about numbers? Might want to avoid any boasting around a Triumph Rocket 3 owner (see above). If anyone buys a new HD because of numbers, they should put down their glass of Kool-Aide.
