thanks....i definitely have enjoyed it, but now its cold as hell out and i get to be depressed for about 5 months..lol.

Yeah this thread is definitely has alot of BS in it...i really didn't think posting something like this would create such a big response from people (mostly people not believing me..lol)

Harley torque and better rider will beat a crotch rocket off the line from dead stop. Easy. Not sure about from 25 mph though.

For the price of mods to the supercharger, etc., mods to the Rocker--a modern liter sportbike could be had. At that point I will let the pundits decide acceleration.

My bias is I think it is better to have multiple bikes for different situations vs one bike. Just my bias.
