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.
