Wow, Vulcan 2000 a 2 liter 2 cylinder

Check the specs on this bike. It looks to be a killer! I cant imagine the power curve! 141 torque 5000rpm and 116 horsepower at 5000 Enough to tear you right off the bike!

Here is a good article http://www.motorcyclecruiser.com/newsan ... s/v2ktech/

Thats really something. The Boss Hogg line of bikes are still the displacement kings though. 502ci Caddy between the legs. Yee haw!

Yeah, but this one was actually designed as a bike. I cant see how 1600 pounds is easy to hold up or how 8200CC fits comfortably between your legs.

Now if you want the coolest real bike check out the Triumph Rocket III ! 2,294cc slightly more than our legacys ! 140hp and "a massive 147ft.lbf torque at 2,500rpm, with 90% delivered at a mere 1,800 rpm" YOWZA!
That and its only 750 pounds, figure that power to weight ratio

As bikes go, cruisers and croth rockets arent really my thing. I'll pass on the softails and hayabusas. The "streetfighter style" of bike best suits me. Bikes like the Yamaha FZ, Buell lightning, etc. I'm actually in the market for a well used Ducati Monster M750. But 'll take a M600. Dark model of course.

personally I'd go for something like a sport touring bike. Something fun and agile yet you equipped and ready to run some easy errands to get a gallon or two of milk as you need.

Not sure which one I'd get, maybe the Honda ST1100 or something. Those bikes are small in my experience. I learned on a 75 Goldwing with a 1200 cc engine. (they also have horizontally opposed engines. Gotta LOVE IT!)

You think the goldwing was fun, my bud had a flat 6 valkyrie!

<stares off longingly> I could only imagine.

Although I have driven my Grandpa's six cylinder Goldwing. Same engine, but it is fully dressed and probably less agile. I was surprised, though, at how easy a fully dressed bike is to ride. The one I learned on was all skimmed down. No fearing (except for a plexiglass windshield), no trunk, and no saddlebags.
