How come.You'll never really know what kind of engine came
with the bike then.
With both my Honda Valkyrie Tourer model and then a few
years later my Honda Rune I did a test during late break-in.
There's this long near mile long hill that is on a major highway that
I use to get to and fro the big city.The perfect place to see what
kind of pull and roll-on a bike has.
I tested both Valkyrie out to see how quick they could
reach 110 m.p.r. on the long rather steep hill.
That was my test.Of course I was gambling.I knew very few cop
cars ever set up radar points on the actual hill itself but rather
at a few spots on the other side at the bottom of the hill.
The test was necessary for my Biker pride.
Since I refuse to ever blip my throttle I need some metric
satisfaction.I find it absolutely amazing that many a fellar
actually buy a Harley just so they can act macho and blip
their throttles whenever and wherever.
Well maybe not at Grandma's house come Turkey Day.
Butt maybe.
