I don't know about that...being able to turn while at speed is important too.
Honda CBR1000rr-r Fireblade weighs 443lbs, has 215 horsepower and 83lb-ft of torque and can get to past 80mph in first gear without really trying. 0-60 is 2.6 seconds and almost more importantly, you can slow down fairly quickly after doing all that.
My wife's 1200 low is pretty quick and fun to drive, just a Stage 1 and carb has been jetted. I'd drive it more, but at 6'1" 230lbs I look like a circus bear on a tricycle. A full size bike with Sportster 48 styling, now you're talking.
damn how did i miss this thread? must have been drinking and riding. damn man my 64 year old lady just rode the sporty 100 miles the other day. she just loves it and i really like riding it too but i get a fat head riding it. dont do the same things on the ultra
she just rode through her first rain storm riding by herself. i was so proud of her i ordered her a new windshield. we will see if she likes that a little better
Winchester is a one-note wonder. He's got nothing else. Disappointing.
The other threads in the Sporty subforum were about the "street legal, de-tuned race machine" I thought maybe he would get some traction. Alas, I was wrong again.
This will go down in my "greatest locked threads" thread sooner or later.
I'm very observant and seeing that the OP can't afford new fenders on his trailer puts the purchase of a sportster in perspective. New rider, probably passed the MSF this summer and doesn't get any attention on the "Baby" so he comes on here and blows up like a child.
That bike is a great beginner bike, if you paid over $3K you got robbed, blind. As foor how much you bench, never bring your muscles to a gunfight, it never works out. You say you're big? Calling Hellbilly & Lonebone please come in here and lets compare what Mr. Winchester's got vs the the thighs you carry on your arms.
You live in that trailer Winchester? If not you should cut it down and use it for transport that lawnmower to Sturgis next summer. Not bagging on lawnmowers, mine has 50 hp which is slightly more than your sporty.
I hope Izzo lets this roll for a few more day,s I can't wait to see some of the replies.
