I do like torque. I ride open class dirt bikes for just that reason. The HD in question was an 83 or so Sportster. Won it in a poker game. I know its not a REAL Harley, but....DID NOT LIKE. Constantly broken, things vibrating off, etc. Steered like a cement truck and my kidneys will never forgive me. My Ninja is a 97 250. I commute back and forth from Alamo to El Paso on it. Runs perfectly all the time. 72 mpg on the highway. In 5 years I have replaced plugs, air filter, chain and a tail light bulb. I don't care for Jap bikes, in fact I ride only European dirt stuff, but the rice burners do run well.
