Retro bikes, comparison.

[JustPassinThru_imp]

My only complaint is that I thought engine wise I was getting a modern Retro in the terms of at least having equal if not more HP than the bikes from the 70s. I wasn't expecting a top speed with a speed limiter of 112mph. I know ecu can be reflashed but at what cost and sounds like a pia. Modern bike with modern power for an 1100 would have been nice. I would have expected it to be in par with at least a 600 super sport but guess that was wish full thinking. I love the bike just needs some more twist and go.
Hence the term modern classic Retro. If i wanted a classic rebuilt then could have bought a classic. I would like the Retro look with the modern performance. Just like the new challengers, chargers, mustangs. Modern retros with gobs of modern HP and technology.

Unfortunately, in this age of hyper-regulation, of catalytic converters on cycles and worries about venting the gas tank...in this age where the Gold Wing has airbags, and probably soon other bikes...when there's computer controls on the engines as THE only way to meet emissions standards...

...then there's going to be pressure to use those same computer controls to limit top speed. Just be glad it wasn't maxed out at 72 or an even-more ridiculous lower number.
