Instead of constructing a paper tiger, I'd simply buy a BMW K1600 GTL. 160 horsepower, 129 pound-feet of torque. And it only gets better from there.

I got a long way to go...

Stage 1 96" 48H Cam
True Track Stabilizer

I had zero interest in pumping this bike up anymore until I added the True Track, now I see there is hope for these big bikes!

Now that I can push the bike harder without wobbles I really want to build a canyon burner.

I'm going to get the suspension dialed in and when the 96 get's tired I'm going S&S or Fuel Moto for big cubic inches.

I would be satisfied with a bike that could push 120-130 HP/TQ. That power and a solid chassis would be fun!

160 hp would be fun - but, you would still only have a bmw. Now back to performance baggers....

Anyone can buy a bike that has a ton of power and handles great.

I want a bike that wasn’t much for speed and agility modified into something more than it was intended.

In the process of building this machine I want it to look and sound bad as hell!

if that hat was not the case I would write a check for a BMW. Nothing against BMW or those that ride them but a sweet American Bagger is my cup of tea!
