Display Mesage #111205


First Ride on my 96 Pacific coast

I keep hearing this statement and trying to figure out where is comes from. The
power curve is nearly ruler flat from 2 grand to 6.5K. It increases by NO MORE
than 3 ft-lbs between those RPMs. Its got gobs of low end torque. While there is
some gain from staying in lower gears as a result of torque multiplication, the
bike has gobs of low end. Its not uncommon to roll the throttle on from 1500 RPM
in third or fourth gear.

curves. The power is low below 3k rpms and if you like good response it is 3.5 k
or above.
