Default What is MOST important? HP, Torque, or Displacement??

Hello Hello,

I'm in a marketing class and need to do a research project so why not do it on what I love? Motorcycles and Engines!

If you could help me answer what is most important for you when selecting a bike; hp, torque, or displacement by answering this 1 MINUTE survey i would really appreciate it!



Thanks for helping me out! I promise it's quick and painless

I dont know if any of it was important...I wanted a Harley 30 years ago...bought one then.....and bought them ever since. Never once looked at those 3 items cause "it was what it was"......Now ask the rice burner club to take the survey and I bet you that all of them research HP before they Rice up. Good luck with the survey.

There's no replacement for displacement.

I took took the survey and I hope the results are posted on this thread.

I rode metric bikes for 29 years and would have answered horsepower until I converted to Harleys. My believe is most tourers ride torque, most racers ride horsepower.

Just my .02

You said I needed a spam blocker like it was going to do something to your pc when you clicked on the link. Didn't ask for any info from you so what will they do with it?? Everyone isn't out to get someone, just by chance it might be a real student trying to pass a course. I'll take my chances and believe the good over the paranoia on computers. Do a little research on the link or the IP first.
