They are still fun to ride in their particular ways, even though the Rocket is my favorite! Click to expand... Got to ride a 2016 Speed Triple not long ago. Felt like I was riding mini bike in which I needed to get off and push to make it go faster

Rev the bastard! - It's all about the power and NOT the torque with them. Keep it above 7000rpm and head for the twisties.

I just can't see me buying a bike with 55, 75 horsepower and low torque. I realize that the bikes that make these types of HP/TQ are lighter in weight than the Roadster but still... that is lame performance. Click to expand... And apparently fixable. Working on that now. Edit: And that's a nice pair of beasts you have there Charles. Last edited: Nov 5, 2017
