Top Speed?

No matter how fast the Classic feels the speedometer always stays on zero.

I think I could live with 145.

NO WAY not if STEEL blows by your $32,000 TFC on his 2006 Classic

$32000 TFC VS $3200 Classic. Guess I'm defiantly the underdog.

It would depend on how you set the parameters of the race as to how the outcome would be. Up through the gears and completely stock to stock this TFC should win.

His "$3200 Classic" is what he has in it... someone Carpenterized it before he got ahold of it.

Not true. It had triple K&N filters and a reasonably good tune when he bought it from me, and oil changed every 10k miles as per the book.

Not true. It had triple K&N filters and a reasonably good tune when he bought it from me, and oil changed every 19k miles as per the book.

This disqualifies it as stock. I win.

I find it odd that many feel adding filters, pipes and tunes means the bike is still stock.

Since I have never hit 145 in the twisties I wouldn't be to concerned. Seems plenty fast to me.

Well, ok, he paid 3200 and had the Carp tune and pipes put on

I guess the term should be stock motor . Lots of people consider bolt on's stockish . Once you start with internal parts it's built . Either way, I refer to her as my stock bike, because the Roadster is far from stock .
