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

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

Take care

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).
