Unfortunately, you encountered a typical uninformed Harley rider. These jokers take off the stocknpipes and put on a pair of loud shotgun pipes, and lose about five to seven horsepower in the process!

maybe that guy was trying but the majority of Sportster riders are happy to cruise around which is why they buy this type of bike in the first place. Unlike you I no longer feel that I have to compete

I'm speaking as a prior owner. In regard to smooth shifting, vibration and top-heaviness, I agree. In terms of riding balance and handling, both my 883 and my1200 were good bikes. In terms of

No, this guy came gunning past on a bend while I was accelerating out of a thirty limit. I was two up and was taking it easy accordingly. His exhausts were loud enough to startle me. I knew he and his

I've had five Harleys. They were the most dependable motorcycles I ever owned. The post-AMF Harleys are extremely well-built. But since almost every Harley has had its fuel and exhaust systems

According to all the specs I've read the W650 weighs 450 wet which means that 1200 weighs 130 lbs more...Which is the equivalent of a 9st pillion extra. That gives the 1200 a power to weight ratio of

Of course it could be that the person who buys a Sportster couldn't give a toss whether you out accelerate them or not. Maybe they are happy just cruising at their own pace Dick

It might make 20 bhp more but it is not only hauling a fair bit more weight, but it can't rev anywhere near as high at any given speed. The W can be always be at least one gear lower. THAT is what

I'm afraid I am speaking from a position of knowledge... Second worst bike I ever rode... the worst was an 883

They don't need db meters. There's a tag that's on all stock pipes. It isn't there, you get a ticket. Jake

I've been a member of the AMA for many many years. I've used their Motow Plus service several times, it's a lifesaver. (Motow Plus provides a free tow for any vehicle you're on/in, something like 35

So much for Wikipedia. It says a quart of oil weighs 1.88 lbs, and a quart of HD oil weighs 4 lbs. No wonder they're so heavy. Dennis
