Performance. Easiest decision I ever made. I don't ride to show off, nor do I care what people think of me or my bike. I ride, because I enjoy the ride. If I can make the ride even more enjoyable with increased performance, I'M THERE!
BTW......my signature kinda gives it away...

RE: Paint Or Performance??
Going the other way. If you wanted performance and didn't care about how it looked you'd think you'd be riding rice.
Face it guys. It's a 800 pound cruiser, it's not ment to be a beast and certainly not fast. The frame, tranny, etc etc are not made for it either. And simply put, the accleration is nice, but you end up getting used to it.
Sayyou got 125HP/TQ out of it. After about 3-6 months the novelty would wear off and you'd be looking for the next "high".
Now if you just bling the paint, now thats something that never gets old. Your bike will stand out the sea of Harleys out there.
HP/TQ chasing is fun and pays dividends. But a cool looking bike IMHO goes much further.....
