It looks like it has a Stage 4 kit in it. That will add about 4k to the cost of the bike and after it is all done it less HP and 4+ ft pounds tq than my 2013 Touring with TORS, Ramair and tune. It is also running a different cam which needs different valve springs which with cam and springs is another few dollars and then the cost to install it all. You gotta read the fine print on the dyno run sheet. ;) I am not very impressed. I wonder how hot it runs.

To get 140 hp on M8 engine it must be 128’’ big bore, cylinder heads with oversized valves, bigger throttle body full exhaust, cam and oil pump and custom tune on it it’s definitely over 4000$! My friend has stage 2,full exhaust , cam,tune air filter M8 114’’ on his road glide 2021 special and hp is only 112hp and around ~120 tq I believe so! Stock R3 on dyno makes 136-140 hp! 650lb bike vs 850lb! So even after engine building with that number 140hp it will not be faster than R3, only in his wet dream from Mount Everest where his weight off the bike will be advantage! 🤣👍👏
 
I’ll race either one of my Rockets against it for pinks. I’ve got a lot of Harley T shirts that are lonely for a bike. :laugh:
For a HD it looks like it might be a fun bike to ride you could never sell or trade it and recoup the money.
