And? Does that mean Formula 1 guys should all of a sudden install tractor engines with a 50-speed gearbox, just because it COULD reach 250 mph? Ain't gonna happen -- such a drivetrain would weigh too much and take too much space.

And as far as drag racing? Let's take one of the most popular classes, Pro Stock......those engines are ~500 cubic in V-8's that put out around 2,000 hp and 1,500 lb-ft of torque.............hardly the "stump puller" type of ratio that you torque fans are advocating.

Look, everyone wants low-end torque.......I don't know anyone who doesn't. But there's a balance. I don't particularly like cars or bikes that start running out of steam or vibrating to death (like Ford 302's would) at only 4-5K rpm. Personal preference.

Pick a vintage year, any year since honda began building bikes.

I bet theres more HD's still on the road from that year than there are honda's?

My harley has yet do drip, drop, leak or burn a bit of oil. It performs flawlessly. I bought what I wanted.

You make it sound like im being forced to ride a HD. Guess what, I could have bought two of yours new for the price of one of mine. I ride what I have because I enjoy it. But that isnt what this thread is about. Its about you being wrong, and refusing to admit it.

once again, apples to oranges. Were talking about real world applications. Not multi-million dollar prototype race cars that will never see the a public road, EVER. You or I have no idea what the technology inside those cars entails. Its impossible to compare them.

Who's next? Have we got an arguement for thrust vs. hp in the house too?

I just like poking bears with sticks! In truth I'm glad you ride and don't really care what you ride.

I only have two hondas in the garage and one is the bike my wife rides. I also have a KTM a Yamaha and a few suzukis.

I really even like the new buell and have owned a RC51 and have 2 SV650s. Really guys you should not take me so serious.

What is your argument? The highest strung vehicles in the world compare to our bikes and daily drivers?

If weight and rules were a non issue, I'm sure they'd throw on a turbo charged or supercharged v8, shoehorn it into a small body and call it a day.

Did you ever notice that an f1 car will barely idle? They have to blip the throttle so it doens't fall below it's tq peak and have zero acceleration..

All we have to take you on ARE your words. If you write retarded things, we'll think you're retarded. if you write thought out responses, we'll think you're intelligent. It's a simple concept.
