Torque difference between bikes

[maurice]

Wondered what others observed on this subject.
My honda vtx 1800, when you accelerate, it would throw you back as it propelled you forward. On this rocket, no throwing back, just forward. Have you noticed this, and if so what is the explaination? Is it 2 cylinder vs 3?
Thanks in advance!

Rapid changes in torque and/or body position are the biggest contributors to "feels fast".

I agreed that they have a different feel to most other bikes. I've always felt like the r3 wants to just rip away from underneath me ... most other big bore bikes I've had felt like they were trying to flip me off the back.

The Rocket has way more torque. The electronic throttle control should apply it more smoothly. However you would think that 0-60 in 2.7 seconds would throw you back a bit. Do you have a GT or R?

Really? You want to race a Rocket X? By the way from what i have been told it sounds good as i pass you. Would not know myself. I beat 2.7 in a heart beat. Stop bragging and lets see your real times. Calling you all out.

Gt. Just real fast forward. Had a suzuki bandit 1200, same thing. Just really fast forward, no throwing back while forward. Just curious.

No throttle control. No riding modes just a well built bike for low and mid range torque. YOU WANT TO RACE? Or just Bragg.

Lack of commits says you want to bragg LETS RIDE. Challenge wide open bring it. Not trying to be rude but enough is enough. Talk is cheap. Lets see if you Can Hang . I spent a lot of time and money for a bike that is very quick in the low and mid range. Did the work myself. You all talk the talk but with your store bought bikes i ain't buying it. Calling you out big time. If you feel threaten understand. You want to walk the walk then accept the challenge. If not then set on the side lines.
