10% is 10%....I'd take a 10% salary raise for sure.....HP means nothing...motive force is all baby!

If one horse has one horsepower, how much torque does it turn?

100tHunDer I to have a 5000lbs Cayenne Turbo 450hp and a 911 325hp. Your not trying to change the HP. on your cars are you? Than why on a HD what is the point? 10hp. can make a change?

If I was as into cars as I used to be (and my bias hadn't shifted to bikes), you can damn sure bet my HP budget would be directed at the SRT8. :2vrolijk_21:

In no way am I trying to be rude here, but and I know its cliche, but maybe the simple response here is if I have to explain it you wouldnt understand it.   :nixweiss:

Just picked up my 13 RG CVO last weekend and put the first 200 miles on it. I was pleasantly surprised at  how well it ran stock. Pulled like a tractor and pretty good throttle response and I am coming off a 165 HP BMW K1600 and don't feel under powered. I owned a Ducati that I over tuned to the point that it had abrupt on off throttle response that was a little scarey so not all tuning is good, some times more is not better. All this said a fullsac stage 1 is in my future, as soon as my bank account I recovers from the original purchase.

Congrats on the new ride.  Fullsac is great!  I miss my 749r and Hypermotard but I really love my CVO:)

Yall, are missing the point!! Why make more power? Even, if you added 50 whatevers, the only bic. you will out run is one marked HD......or VW.....Its 850lbs. with 80lbs.of HD parts dept.....

who said anything about trying to out run any other bike?

Its all about making my bike more fun to ride!

If you feel that way, why get a CVO, a 103 does fine in a bagger, for that matter so does an older 96 inch motor
