I don't either. My stock H-D has 76 HP and a heap 'o torque that comes

Just out of curiosity, which H-D product of ANY stripe offers 76 h/p
out of the box? Rear wheel? ...(That's a new one on me)...


It seems kinda funny to me that a guzzi fan is harping on the low power
output of a stock Harley ;)

Granted the rosso corsa, or whatever they're calling the higher spec
guzzis put out a bit more than the cali's and whatnot, but we're not
talkin' GSXR numbers here. I'm not hatin, I like guzzis and theres
nothing wrong with harleys, but they aren't generally gonna win any dyno
competitions in stock form.


Guzzi-vs-Harley would sure win in stock form...I know that from
personal experience and published numbers. I have had both, and chose
to stay with Guzzi. It's just a better bike all around...by a long
shot...IMO.


Given the choice, I'd take the Guzzi in a heartbeat, too. The Breva 1100 is currently one of my favorites, just a bit too pricey for me right now. Of course, it looks downright affordable compared to the beemers I like. But I'm on more of a used ninja 500 budget :P
