    That is not a bad looking bike. There are so many things that a person can do with a turbo charger that it isn't even funny. Water Injection is just one of them. :)

    Again I had heard that they are a better straight line bike than they are a handling bike. The stories that I have heard scares me enough to just stay away from them, although I would like to test ride one just for kicks. :)

    Really?? I guess that makes sense because all of the bikes that I have been told about do have the larger rear tire. That would make it handle like crap. I think I would take all of the markings off as well.

    Had 2 Goldwings put 105,000 on one before I sold it. We rode just like that scraping both sides. Goldwings, especially the 1500 will corner like nobodies business.
    Few years back, Sleeping and I rode the Harley Ultras following SK on his Yamaha up the Coronado trail hauling ass just like that. Was a lotta fun.
    Big bikes are a lotta fun in the corners cause you gotta work harder and smarter than on a smaller bike.

    Don't have to be a big guy to ride em hard, just have to know how to set up the bike into the corners properly. Abby can teach you the proper techniques of proper cornering. I've taken several advanced courses and they really help. Took the training course to be a MSF instructor here in Oregon but that Team Oregon got rid of all the MSF training here in Oregon and only they can teach it and not interested in working with them.

    Cowboy, look at the ProCharger for Harley. While Victory sez you can get 50 extra hp, ProCharger sez you can go all the way to 100 extra ponies on a H-D 96". Of course everything inside the motor is beefed-up.
