Looks like an X1 on the Bikez website banner! http://www.bikez.com/ Also, as a side note, can't seem to find horsepower ratings anywhere for any of harley's newer bikes (not even on Bikez.com). What's up with that? | ||

I don't think Harley has ever posted HP numbers. I could be wrong. I know, when I was big into them, that they didn't. Perhaps that changed.  If I were making a "Sportster" that made 45HP . . .I wouldn't post them either. Motorcyclists are notorious for looking at nothing but HP figures. | ||

Harley has, and still does, advertise their torque numbers. I think if you look in the right place, you might be able to find HP ratings...but they're not exactly "front and center" in the marketing stuff. Forget the 45hp Sportster...it's the 65HP big twins that get me. My self-built 80" evo Road King was 90/90 at the rear wheel...and ate TC88's and TC96's for lunch. Now admittedly HD does tune for torque...but bikes like tubers, XB's, and even the XR1200 show that you can, actually, have *both*. HD just...doesn't do it. "Core Market", I guess. |
