600 cc 2007 R6S somewhere in the 130ish hp. what more could you want..
Not that this is related, but I just want to say....this bike is not at all uncomfortable. I find if I had to sit up straight the whole time I was riding, my back would be tired as hell...but leaning over is nice. This may be because of the thousands of miles I've ridden on a road bicycle. But I find it comfortable.

150CC on my chinese scooter, 800CC on my Kawi cruiser, and 1800CC on my Goldwing. The scoot is a hoot.

Lol wow talk about a dead thread revival!

And looking at the post above you makes me laugh... 130ish HP on an R6S? Maybe factory claimed at the crank at sea level in perfect conditions...

I haven't seen this thread in so long that I've already got a different bike with a different displacement.

It says 1150 on the tank (but it's actually an 1130cc horizontally opposed twin).

My Pan is 73.66 CI or 1207.1 cc for the SI conversion. Rated HP is 9.44 RAC(taxable) The newer ones(55 up) use rated hp of 60 hp @ 5400 rpm but still have 9.44 taxable listed.

Taxable used bore and number of cyl. not actual displacement. SI (metric)sic usually rate bikes in
PS Rather than HP but the lawful measurement is in terms of wattage (converted to mechanical means) PS is about .98 HP

My twin is 102ci or 1670cc...89Hp & 111ft-lbs of torque...all wrapped in a 570lbs curb weight bike...fun stuff!!

Later.

1500 for the old bike, (still for sale,) 1300 for the newer bike...

You should add the option of "Way too big for my license's health."

Took me a long time to find out a bigger motorcycle isn't better, 500 to 650cc is the perfect size for anybody

The HD V twin design started in 1936 with just minor updates, but the new ones are the same design, its not efficent, all it is a heat pump, an air compressor, not an engine!
I look at the new tech, new designs of the new engines, look at the average Japanese crotch rocket engine, its an engineering masterpiece! for an example look at the 250 kawasaki ninja, it can out accelerate and top the top speed of any HD, plus it gets 75 miles per gallon on top of that,, thats efficent! The sound of the Honda Interceptor engine sounds soooo smooth and perfect it gives me a hard on just listening to it, but when I listen to a HD engine it sounds of junk to me! Thats why HD riders install loud pipes cause it covers up the junky sounding engine noise!
