This will put a smile on your face!

I've experienced both.
Tweaked out V-8s and 4-cyl Honda.

I'll say this - I have the greatest respect for Honda's engines & engineering!

I figure they make more engines than any other company on the world!

Think about it - automobiles, motorcycles, lawnmowers, chainsaws & brush cutters, & Marine engines.

They've run and won in F1, 500cc GPs and Moto GP, amoung others.

My Honda CBR motorcycle revs to about 11000rpm all-day, every-day, and on any-day... without fear of failure! Further, it will scare the pants off all you without even trying!

...and still return fuel economy numbers that are tighter than a frog's ar$e

Naturally aspirated I'm not sure many engine manufacturers get as much out of their cubic capacity as Honda does.

I figure those who knock the Honda clearly haven't ridden one :-)

Take care

We hear you, but never forget we all march to the beat of different drummers.Personally love big inch machines for no other reason than just looks.An engine bay full of American Muscle floats my boat big time,not to mention the sweet music coming from the pipes.

Honda clearly excels in engineering. There's no question. I have owned Honda Motorcycles, and Honda cars in the past. Some of us just prefer American Iron, be it cars or bikes. My wife's Honda Accord was our first and last Honda car. The Honda bike was in the late 60's. My last motorcycle, while it won't rev at 1/2 the RPMs of a CBR, or go as fast as a CBR, the CBR will never (in my most humble opinion) look, or feel, or sound, or ride, like this:

Lovehamr, We are not so far apart on opinion of HD performance as you might think. Heck, I had a riceburner Kawasaki Triple brandnew in '74 that was little brother to the fastest production bike on earth a few years before I bought a Hog. If you had read my post you would see that I totally capitulated on the performance issue regarding HDs. It's all good man. I love a classic HD as good as anyone for the sound and for the look (and for the comfort for a large dude like me).
