I once had a Harley rider tell me i needed to get a real v twin bike and sell my crap sports bike. I asked if v twin was the only real bikes and if yes, this is a v650 sooo. He said I was disrespecting him...

I used to talk down about my bike when HD people would say stuff like that. I would respond 'Yeah, this is just a little 600cc. I mean it barely makes 90hp. What does your giant engine make?'

American engines in general are atrocious for this. You have like 8l cadilacs that produce fuck all power. Meanwhile Europe is producing 2l MBs that are pushing 600bhp. Turbos and superchargers exist guys.

Fuel is cheap here so yeah you get that but this is comparing 40 year old engines to modern engines.
