You are not alone on this one. Some coworkers ride Harleys and wings and seem to do fine, but I’ve always stayed away from those bikes and say the biggest I would go is a concours. Heck, even a concours weight worries me. Maybe is all in my mind since I’ve never been on any of those bikes, but they sure look massive and I always think about a leg being stuck under the weight of one of those monsters.

I saw an article awhile ago that the Rocket was the fastest bike to 60 feet on the planet. Problem is I think it has a 135 limiter on it.

Even with the limiter of 135
The Triumph Rocket III
makes both lists
of production motorcycles
0-60 in under 3.5 secs
and 1/4 mile
in 12 seconds
or less *

That rocket is putting out more than my 1800kg Aussie Limo in BHP !!! When I can't climb on the Busa no more , then this maybe my next move . Then we may have to add more back injuries to repair list I guess . :thumbsup:
