Some bikes with massive numbers are asleep until 3000+ rpm. You're hitting 100TQ before 2500, and then continuing to kick *** from there. Shows that with a good combo of parts and a solid tune, you can have it all. VERY nice!!

Thanks.

That was one of my requirements when I did the build, big torque early. I wanted lots of power at 2700~3000 RPM also as that cruising rpm. I can be at 80 on the interstate and just twist it to pass in a big hurry. Its also good for riding the Smokey Mountains, I'm 120 torque by 2750, pulls great out of the curves up hill.
