Motoguzzi...

Triumph?
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

It was a joke....

I didn't seriously mean there were only American and Japanese bikes, just that that's just about all you see.

I have a question about the above stats... primarily concerning the Harleys.

Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Standard (71 hp)
Harley-Davidson Fat Boy (64 hp)
Harley-Davidson Heritage Softtail Classic (64 hp)
Harley-Davidson Road King (71 hp)

If HP is measured at the crank... shouldn't these all be the same? They're the same motor... Twinkie 88. My stock Superglide was listed as 86 HP or something like that.
