...after a mere 10 k in the saddle of my S3T,I am beginning to understand the complexity of its character...if I could venture a clever turn of phrase to explain this phenomenon I would refer to the Greek, deus ex mechina.Does this compute for you? Any comments or other explanations we can give the common man that would further separate us from the black T-shirt crowd who feign superiority by constantly muttering'...if I have to explain,you wouldn't understand'. | ||

The Buellworld website has a quote: "Horsepower is an illusory mathematical equation; torque is real and the source of all good things in the world." If ever we needed gods in our machines, torque is one of the welcome ones. | ||

But the bike with the most horsepower also has the most torque at the rear wheel at any given speed. And it's the torque at the rear wheel that accelerates the bike, not the torque at the engine. | ||
