Im not even gonna ask how big one's balls need to be to ride a bike with 400-500 hp

Its not so much a matter of how big ones balls are as to how ones brain is wired. Most people won't ride motorcycles because they aren't to safe. In an accident with a car regardless of whose fault it is the rider
will lose. We all know this yet the fun of riding wins out over the fact that its not the safest way to get from A to B. Those riders that prefer a bike with a name like ROCKET and the performance to match have decided that its not enough fun to just have a motorcycle, they want one of the biggest baddest ones available. It goes on and on, nothings changed since I started riding in 1956 except there are more bikes and more choices.

This is true. I still find it hard to believe that I use to think 1,000 cc bikes were huge and breaking 100 miles per hour was considered a major accomplishment.

Some guys where I work and on some rides I have been on with mixed bikes find our Rockets intimidating and wouldn't want to ride one.

The sport bike riders at work think that the Rocket X is great. The Harley riders on the other hand have very little to say anymore.

Ive offered mates with other bikes one a Harley and another a Duvalle to take my r3R for a ride but both of them confessed they think it'd be too much bike for them...........

In 1970, the 650 was considered a big motorcycle, at least in Europe where there weren't many Harleys. Gros moto, en France.

YEP they keep making faster bikes every year but now they control them with electronics so you can ride them

That will not happen, $10,000 will not do it. My ex brother in law spent over $12,000 on his Harley. He called me out, I spotted him 20+ bike lengths. I hit 3rd gear as I blew by him. By the time I hit 4th I shut the old 2005 Rocket down apx. 100 yds. in front

Now he has put a 30 something inch front wheel and tire and huge rear bags that darn near touch the ground....Useless as tits on a boar hog......no pun intended........LMAO

HEY I met him at ATCO DRAGWAY and watched him run his CHEY V8 dragbike he would bot it up on a centerstand then open the throttle and rolled off the stand and burned the tire the full 1/4 mile it only turned 10 seconds and 150 MPH but it was cool show for the crowd HE was called the MICHIGAN MADMAN

Wasn't the fastest guy although was pretty fast especially for his day but he was the craziest, the drag strips paid him to shoe up and run. He built his own machine out of used parts, welded up his own frame in a little shop on his farm. There is a lot more to his story than just the bike, he was a real character. He died not to ling ago but he was a legend in his own time. He had a book and some videos about 15 years ago, I don't know if they are still available.
