What? that thing is bad ass! It'll stomp a mud hole in a Vmax ass!

I'm actually thinking about giving up my sport bike ways for it!

What kills most H-Ds for me is the feet forward position.
I grew up on dirtbikes and I just am completely unable to ride with my feet over there ...

This I would just love, though ...

Not anything aftermarket... I believe there is one from the factory.

If you are not happy with the performance of a K1300, you are not human!

I rode a buddy's Kawi ZX14 for the afternoon today ... goddam! Felt like riding a super tanker with a Saturn V rocket strapped to its arse. While my Z gives up around 120-130mph (eventually makes it to 150, but it takes time) ... the big ZX14 was still accelerating damn hard at 130mph, it was just getting into its territory when I let off the launch contr... err, throttle.

This being said I was happy to get back on my little toy of bike after a couple hours strapped on that Scud missile!
