Default Will a cammed 103

Run with a Goldwing? Full exhaust, big sucker , Power Vision and 555's or 777's. Just wondering what it takes to keep up with the ricer

another goldwing...

the flat 6 has such a strong smooth pull


one of the funniest things i ever saw was a 'dude" on his raked out chopper, the rear tire took up almost the whole lane.

some old geezer pulled up on his GW, and when the light changed was out of sight before that big chopper could clear the intersection.

guess which one was louder.

a cam would probably give you another 10 HP, which will help.

JMO but who cares? They are both touring bikes. What's the point in comparing? Again. JMO.

Run with (as in not get completely embarrassed merging into traffic following one), yeah.

Flat out (side-by-side drag) race, not likely.

Don't try to keep up with one down a twisty, bumpy backroad either.

Sneak over to the GW rider's house late one night...


And tie wrap his throttle cable so it won't get a full pull. Yeh, that might just work!

I doubt it, my Valkrie took cvo's, I was impressed by how close one stayed that it prompted me to buy my RK. 2 cylinders will never sound better than a 6 into 6 snarl either.
