I'm a die hard HD guy, but good to see any 2 wheeled friends out there.

From the factory, that is a stout bike. Harley(amongst others)sells whatever hp level you desire. Too bad it's not a factory option though. I'll post pics later of my Rocker Custom. It's nice. It won't beat your bike in a race, but its oh so pretty and 13.3 @107 isnt bad for near stock Harley that weighs 700+ lbs.

09 Road Glide and 05 C6 M6. I've had both on the Tail of the Dragon and actually enjoyed the vette a lot more. Still love my HD though, especially for the 2,500 mile "boys trips" as my wife likes to call them once a year.

I had an '85 FXRS Low Glide (upgraded to a springer front end) for 20+ years with 3 different Corvettes.

This looks like a blast to ride, love the 2 into 1

Which do you think would win in an all out 1 mile race, the Suzuki or the 'vette?

The bike IS a lot of fun. In a mile, the vette would take it. 1/4 mile is another story. It'd be a fun race for sure. Not that I would ever consider doing such a thing

. Computer will shut it down just south of 150, with the mods that I have it might go a little higher, but not much.

I don't own a Harley, but I do own a Honda Goldwing GL1500SE. Both vehicles are fun to drive on the scenic roadways of Tennessee.

I don't, but I was surprised at all of the HD shirts and such I saw on fellow club members. I think it is pretty common.

I have a 2010 Grand Sport, and a 1970 Harley XLCH Sportster (kick start only). I sold my 08 softail when I got my Vette.

2010 Torch Red Coupe and 2007 Streetglide. Six other guys in our Corvette club ride Harleys. But I love all my buds up on two wheels, regardless of brand.

I have noticed, caravaning in the Corvettes, Harley riders wave a lot. Must be the shared American Icon thing.

Love this bike!

Always said when I got too old to ride my Harleys, I'd buy a 'Vette. Decided not to wait,, '08 Victory Red Coupe, '07 Ultra Classic, '92 Heritage, and wife has an '84 Low Rider "Shovelhead"
