i was riding my ricer motorcyle (yamaha virago 1100 cruiser) back to the house one day, just exited off the interstate onto a smooth 55mph 4 lane road. as i merged a lady in a jag xk8 pullrd up next to me and smiled, punching it, she must have thought it was a 750 or so. this bike i pretty much bone stock except for the drag pipes. i pulled about 1/4 throttle and caught up to her, just smiling. we both slowed to 55 and she hit it again, i shook my head and dropped a gear, pulled the throttle all the way back and just left her behind, oil dripping off of my motor and all. she caught up about a mile later, none too happy, 50k car, vs 2k bike, woot.....
she caught up about a mile later, none too happy, 50k car, vs 2k bike, woot what, is she stupid? very, very few cars can approach the power / weight ratio of any half way decent bike.
You want that bike to scream then go to sscustomcycle.com and get a 502 race kit. I done that last winter. It was like the difference between night and day. Mine is a 03 yam vstar 1100. I killed my buddies roadstar with a 102cube(1670cc) nothing flat, just can't even hang with me.
