Steve:
Well, I sort of agree with you. Harleys are pure profiling these days. Sure, there are now 120+ cubic inch big twins that will run low 11 second quarter miles, but as you pointed out, these bikes have 5X the cost of a current Jap 600 in them, and the 600s will now run high 10 second quarters. But relative to the four wheeled competition, the Cobra has dimmed a bunch as well. You're certainly correct that most Cobra replicas will beat a majority of the cars on the road today. But back in the 60s/70s, Cobras could beat ALL of the cars on the road, and there are four door sedans now that will run low 12 second quarters with automatic transmissions and all the comforts of your average luxury home.
I still love 'em in spite of all that.
