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.

Ok, here’s some info, d1ckhead:

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.
