Looks like a V-Rod with a couple more bits of bling stuck on it .

Exactly, It’s not the lack of imagination, options, models, or style of the Harley’s that the MC is having issues with, it’s the expense.

Seeing how it comes with Screaming Eagle slip ons and a K&N style air filter, I imagine it must be tuned differently than the standard 114. Like I said, it pulled like crazy. I wish I could give you more details but I had to stop every 5 minutes to see if it was sumping.

If this bike had came with a stage 2 with 100 hp at the rear wheels. It would be worth the cost and it would sell
Just my opinion.

Huh ? Then Harley can’t rape ya with all the expensive engine add ons to get to those numbers, and I bet it sounds like a sewing machine with the stock pipes on it.

But honestly, I just don’t see anything that catches my eye from the MOCO in the last 2 years offerings. And that electric bike 😂.

Wiz Out 🍺

Cycle Worldran the Star VMax against the Triumph Rocket in order to see which muscle cruiser could run to 60 miles per hour fastest. That test pegged the VMax on the mark in 2.5 seconds, which made it the fastest bike that still makes for good long-range riding. It houses a 1679cc engine capable of 179 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque. Weighing in at 695 pounds, it can match the Diavel on pound-for-pound power.
Well we've already decided horsepower is meaningless. So the FXDR has 5 more pound feet of torque which means it wins the race.

I just want a 200 hp 400TQ sled to scoot around town, drink beers and go to jail on... Is that too much to ask?
