The 88 twin-cam was the first you didn't have to drop into a lower gear to pass a few car's.
yeah got to ride for about 2 1/2 hours today. So smooth in all aspects compared to my 750 ace. Loving it. The ace is quick on take off but when you get about 50 if you pull the throttle back all the way it accelerates very slowly. So having power after 50 is new for me ;-) And I’m a computer tech so I’m good at wading through the BS to see if things are real issue or not ;-) used to the complaining.

No people are just dumb or don't know anything about Harleys.

You got people will go in touring section and ask about something that every harley has, but they ask a narrow audience.


For your education, sportsers have a different engine, with transmission built in Everything else has the same engine. Some differences in oil pans or tanks.

Take the time to learn about Harleys. Learn the alphabet. Though even Harley seems to have given up to the yuppies and doesn't list it as much.

Only metrosexuals and people that ride with neon colored helmets care what the cc is.

Just kidding Zerk. I just posted here because I have the touring model so thought that was an appropriate place to ask

I refer to metric as commie.

Ski Doo site didn't have a sense of humor about it. Or countries that have been to the moon, and countries that use metric.

But I do think you are ***** of a country if your government can force you to use system.


It stumps at the auto parts store when I say my truck has a 325.

My mistake. I assumed this place had evo and TC forum like other places. IMO those are better more people see them.

To answer the question and using the references below it would be considered a 1600. Being above or below the 50 cc mark is what the metric bikes use to determine what they round up or down to.

Kaw ZX-11 (1054 cc)
Honda CBR1100XX (1137 cc)
Suz GSX-1300R (denied as 1299 cc but bumped up to 1340 cc in 2008)
