A "400 lb." RK would be awesome. There would be so many more riders on 2 instead of 3 wheels if that were the case.
Too bad too, as HD is literally "scaling" themselves lesser market share as riders have to choose other marques to continue riding.
I'd be excited about a "400 lb" Sporty or Dyna too! And not the pigs they have become.

Helium in the tires, and in the gas tank.
I thought the OP got a temp ban. Then he comes out fighting, with more stupidity. Other than being off by 2x in the weight, the topic is interesting. And yes, I like my 1,160 pounds on highway cruising.

I'm convinced that the 13 in his name is his age, not the year of the bike he claims to own. He's constantly coming up with crap he must be reading on the net and posting it here. Add that to how many inaccurate facts he comes up with and it really makes sense. He's a little kid trying to play with the adults.

I've been over 110 mph on a bike that came in under 350 lbs and felt fine, but most of the under 400 pounders I've ridden felt a bit insecure long before that. As far as the OP's 400 lb?, typo? If he's actually ridden one he'd have to know it's over 400 lbs. By the time I'd taken my Tour Glide down to the frame, I'd pulled 400 lbs off it a couple times.
