And then the end came....

I think I might be interested in one of these in street trim, if comparable in price with other similar machines, since they are basically a de-uglied Buell 1125.

Not bad but did they leave off a number or something on the torque. 185hp and only 93ftlbs of torque doesn't sound very good to me.

considering the 1198 is 170 horse and 97 ftlbs... to what are you comparing that it doesn't sound very good?

My fast lap is your sighting lap.

170 and 97 vs 185 and 93?

i'll take the former any day.  an extra 4 lbs of pull is great for my fat ass

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

yea, probably would notice the 4 ft/lbs more than the 15 extra hp  [roll]
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
