Default Our quest for more inches!

"No replacement for displacement" is usually the Harley rider's motto, however, how many of you are disatisfied with the size you ended up with?&nbsp\\; Cubic inch size that is.&nbsp\\; In our quest for faster, torquier scoots, we find ourselves always wanting more.&nbsp\\; With each new model year there is always speculation that something bigger is on the horizon so we wait, and wait, and nothing worth waiting for seems to come.&nbsp\\;

Anybody satisfied with their scoot with what they bought straight up or do you find yourself looking, waiting, longing for more?&nbsp\\; From the docile 88 incher to the stroked 96 I ask what would/will be next and are you always wanting more inches?

Is the MOCO toying with our wallets?&nbsp\\; Should they just give it up and come out with a 113" stock configuration in all the available models? Or do we continue to support the meager increase in HP/TQ that has&nbsp\\;kept them in business for 105 years so far?&nbsp\\; The cosmic unexplainable lure of the HD saga snatched me up and won't let go, but how do you fellas feel?

[sm=confused06.gif]&nbsp\\;Hmmm.........

+1. Want speed, get a crotch rocket. Want class, be happy with your Harley.

According to all of these e-mails I've been getting lately, what I really need is a bigger *****. Not sure how they know that though.

I'm happy with my 88".&nbsp\\; I would end up in trouble with a hot rod.

Glad&nbsp\\;ime&nbsp\\; perfictly happy with what i got have a 98 evo rk ime a large guy 350lbs and i can easly be doing over the speed limit off the entrance ramp &nbsp\\;also have an 06 RG am perfictly happy with the 88 and 5 speed&nbsp\\; bought it used last fall&nbsp\\;got aheck of a deal because its not a 96 and and 6 speed.
I think part of the Deal is and probly will raise some ire is&nbsp\\;people who arn,t satisfied with what the got the pure pleasure of&nbsp\\;Riding is not why they have a bike. &nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;
