Got a 2011 BMW R1200RT that's going down the road this spring if anyone's interested. 11K with a fair amount of extras. $8000. Can send pics if wanted.

Thats a pretty square deal.  I have some old woods racing buddies into the adventure bike thing. Ktm 990s seem to be in favor among a couple of them.  I miss my R1100r.  Short money, good clean fun that I could tour north America if I wanted to. :bc:

Wow.  That was a torque based gaping.

Can you just imagine how fucking slow those things are?? I'll bet neither of them even runs in the 11s in the quarter

Big and slow and heavy and loud. I rode some of the 60’s and 70’s harley’s and those were fun bikes to ride. A bike that weighs 8 or 900 lbs...not so much.

Cruisers are not really performance bikes. They are heavy and slow.

I,ve got a mint condition 2007 Yamaha Vmax 1200 with less than 2000 miles on it which is luckily listed as a cruiser for insurance purposes. It definitely isn,t slow by any stretch. It,s going to be up for sale in the spring.

A buddy of mine has the all blacked out Indian. Very nice bike, built very low to the ground.

I don’t know a thing about the new Indians, but it that was a harley that rice rocket would have likely pulled away hard.  We used to say about Harleys and Husqvarnas in the late 80s, “make alotta noise but not not alotta horsepower”

If anybody thinks their cruiser can outrun a rice rocket, well.......they make signs for that.

Two different animals.  I don’t know much about cruisers but used to be into the ricers pretty heavy.  No....it’s just no.

Harleys are slow as fuck. Why is every Harley guy spending 5k for some dumbass stroker motor? Even then they still have a slow ass bike
