[@donniebaker5984]

that's because you are stupid and can not understand what handling is all about

[@mitsubishi777]

Vance and Hines is famous for its high performance mufflers among Japanese motorcyclists. However, some people in Japan say they are not durable compared to Yoshimura's ones.

3:19 "When can we see you on a Harley on the road?" . . . "As soon as my balls drop."

[@bobbeazley2502]

I miss that class. And also miss Christy Lee behind the mic!

[@OnTheThrottleTV]

@MrNavyman1968 This is a spec class so the XR1200 will never have to race the inline four's.

@MrNavyman1968 Vrod engine is just WAY too big and heavy for a good road racing bike

[@donniebaker5984]

the v-rod engine came from the 1994 VR1000 Harley Davidson motogp sport bike that is not too big and heavy as you claim it is ..if you are going to be a Harley hater grow a brain and try and learn something about motorcycles
