Is it a cruiser? Guessing a twin? I never understood why the lack of power from such huge cylinders. My friends 05 sportster 1200 gets worse gas mileage than my R6, half the horsepower but double the torque and has a top speed of like 115, if you work at it for a mile or so lol. I'm gearing limited to 186 and it get's there QUICK.
EDIT: The R6 is 200 lbs lighter too.
