Crickets from the usual M8 crowd.

The M8 stock and dealer stage kits suck. I read the same dribble every night. FM's web page shows a sheet comparing the stock M8 107 at 81 HP and 99 TQ to a stock Rushmore 103 at 79 HP and 95 TQ.

It’s a 4 CI increase, what do you expect? Also if you look at the charts it’s not just about numbers. The M8 comes on much earlier and has a much nicer curve. Now go back to dreaming about an M8.

Haven’t seen you in a while Dave, welcome back! I’m very happy with my M8, I never owned a Rushmore model but I’m sure they are really nice too. I like my bike........ dare I say, love it? Meh........ I’m hungry, I’m going out for breakfast with my son, he’s home from college. Enjoy your day fellas......it’s FRIDAY!

Wanna give Fuel Moto a big thanks. Yesterday called in and got to talk to Jamie which is pretty rare. Talked about what I currently have with the stage 3 114. Asked about my riding and said that what he can do for it with his cam, exhaust and tune will be able to make me more than happy. That’s what I like about Fuel Moto. They don’t try to sell you the whole store to make money. They make happy satisfied customers. Thumbs up.

+2 HP and +4 TQ. Not much to dream about there. You're right it does come on a bit earlier and to the left. I suppose if one lugged along and pulled a plow, travel trailer, large boat, hauled momma up and down the hills or rode like MJ that may be an advantage. Of course you could just save some coin and get yourself a set of torque cams for the TC. Is what it is. Marketing. Makes the world go round.

M8 V Rushmore **** cam =M8 with more torque everywhere you need it 2300 to 4000 very strong!
Be much quicker and easier to ride because of that!

Have you looked at the sheet on FM's website comparing the stock M8 with the stock Rushmore? The differences for HP/TQ on that sheet are negligible, even across the torque line. Take a look.
