Just got the new issue of Cycle World and there is an article about the bike they built using a Harley-Davidson Road Glide.

I was in a H/D dealership today. Got 42 G burnin a hole in yer pocket?  uglystupid2 It wuz a 16 alphabet soup "something" at 42 G. Pretty red but even a white and turquoise stripped down alphabet soup "something"-hard bags and a W/S versus a full fairing-was near 22 G. RIDE SAFE.

If I remember correctly from the article, that one makes 167 HP and 170 foot pounds of torque. I might not want to buy it but I'd sure like to ride it for a day or two.  cooldude

Surely after spending that much one would hope it would be out the shop a few more days than that.   I'd hope for least a week of trouble free riding.   Wink

Yep. Wouldn't want to ride it to the left coast. But would indeed like to ride it.
