yep, still have some metal shavings in my feet....lol
If you are telling me that a Harley can take an Eliminator I am certainly calling that a lie....or a gross case of rider incompetence.
You tell me which HD model goes 0-60 in 3 seconds?
So go on and beat it since you can’t find any reason for me to have a Harley other than chugging up a hill in high gear, and if you can do it on your HD I can do it on my Roadstar.
Ride safe.
Cool.
No blood no foul.
Sometimes hard to get the sense of teasing here.
Ride safe.
kaw eliminator 900 specs...
530 lbs
63 lb-ft torque @ 8000RPM
105 hp @ 9500RPM
rider plus passenger 450lbs plus
my superglide w/ modified twincam...
630 lbs
100 lb-ft torque @ 3500 RPM (approx)
85 hp @ 5000RPM (approx)
rider(no passenger) 180 lbs
As you see, the lbs per horsepower are approximately equal. The advantage I had was the massive torque at very low RPMs compared to the eliminator. Also, my horsepower is produced at much lower RPMs.
And I havn’t even gotten into the horsepower and torque curves. If you had any mechanical sense you would know that torque motors have flat horsepower and torque curves. THe High RPM motors have curves with very pronounced peaks.
Also, keep in mind that your AVERAGE 900 eliminator is a 1500 dollar piece of junk at this point in time while your AVERAGE souped up twincam is immaculate.
The link I gave you was for a 1000 cc Eliminator with 110 hp, not 900 cc. D!ckhaid.
And no, I don’t believe that your ride can take either a 900 or 1000 cc Eliminator unless you place all kinds of handicaps on the Eliminator and give yourself all kinds of advantages....like you alone vs the Kaw with a rider.
HD hasn’t got a stock bike that will beat the stock 20 year old Eliminator.
I’ve smoked screaming eagles even with a fatassed passenger on my back end.
Your Superglide with all its modifications cannot hang with a stock 1000 cc Eliminator. Hell, it probably wouldn’t have even hung with my Vulcan 1500. With or without my wife/ passenger.
You might as well tell me that your minivan beat a 69 Camaro straight up.
So you’ve still failed to find any reason that I should consider a Harley for my next bike but reinforced certain stereotypes about Harley owners.
Aright, before I really lay into you like you deserve and get myself banned, I’m goint to refer you to my post 257. My buddy owns a 900 eliminator. I know nothing of 1000 eliminators. I might as well call you a liar (snce you already started that crap by calling me a liar)and tell you you know nothing of 1000 eliminators or even 900 eliminators for that matter. You sure as shit know dick about harleys. And I suspect you couldn’t even kick start a dam moped.
If you just ask around our even look on this thread, you worthess suckwad, you would realize that the specs I cited as my own harley are extremely tame for a hopped up twincam harley. As for the piece of shit eliminator whose ass I soundly spanked, those specs are easily found on the internet. Look them up yourself...lame ass. Then eat crow.
I should be ashamed of myself for letting you drag me down to your level, but I am an asshole and I don’t really give a shit. So F u and the cur that weaned you.
Yeah, right, I really truly believe that your Hog beat and Eliminator....NOT!
Is your neighbor that lame off the line? Oh, that’s right, he had a stock bike with a passenger and you had a hopped up bike with a featherweight rider.
Yeah, I often brag about beating other bikes when they have twice the load I do! LOL....
But you started out trying to find some way to ‘sell’ me a Harley and have miserably failed.
Roadstar Silverado 1700 $13,600.
Kawasaki Nomad 1600 $12,900.
HD Heritage Classic 1600 $18,000.
Plus the Roadstar and Nomad can be ridden further than the corner bar and in the rain.
PS. Read American Iron magazine for great excuses for owning a HD. Image. Tradition. Image.....did I mention image?
