Took two rides in the mountains with our 1800. once through Banff to Jasper Alberta and once through Waterton Glacier park in Montana. Iwas very impressed with the low end torque of this engine. Two up touring with slow turns and steep hills this thing is like it has an automatic trans, just put it in high in leave it there till you have to stop. Plus it is so quiet compaired to other brands.

its almost like having an electric motor, all the torque all the time

My last bike was a 1996 VT1100c with a 4 speed, I hesitated to go with the 5 speed because I thought I would be shifting more. 35MPH in 5th... can any other bike do that?

yep, my 1500 wing

At the meeting last week, one of my Honda reps had some stats on the Wing's motor. Makes 90 lb feet of torque at 1800 rpm! Take that Milwaukee! (big giggle)

i was reading a magazine last month. it had a road test of one of the new harleys with the 103 inch motors and it didn't produce as much hp or tq as my 1500 wing

That must be why I do not have to listen to them. The Harleys all fade in the rearview mirror so FAST!
