^ Good point. My son has a CVO 110 Road King Screamin Eagle. I told him if a 600cc or bigger sport bike gets beside him at a traffic light...nod, then ignore him. If you mess with him, you'll just get your feelings hurt.
Tell him to just lean over and challenge it to an 600 mile day with a weekend of luggage for two...
Need a sport tourer for that...and, of course, many of those will mtch a sportbike in a drag race! (Offhand, a Concours 1400 will run 11-flat or better.)
