What I need to race is my new Rocket against the older Lush built one and see who wins that race. I have very few buddies that have the ability or balls to ride them well and wide open.
Some of you guys get caught up in HP and who doesn't want more HP but... That's great for straight line and sweeping curves but not so much in aggressive riding in the twisties. A very good rider with adequate HP will beat an average rider with loads of HP every time in the twisties. Straight line goes to the HP in most instances but not all. Just my observations throughout the years.
