Same market, touring bike, not less comfortable in any way, carries the same luggage and passenger in comfort. But you're right, it's not in the same ballpark, it's way better.

Way better in leaking oil...lol...omg Pedro this is another Ducati kinda bike...plague with ABS nightmares...so complicated built that only a dealership can work on them...how reliable are they ?   Don't see this bike breaking the endurance record that for sure....

[Marcel]

A friend of mine owned one...it was and older model...can't remember the year...it wasn't very old...the abs unit failed on it and the warranty had just ran out...it was actually cheaper to scrap the bike than having it repaired...

I don't know. We could look at used bikes for sale and see which have the highest mileage.

I don't know what you're talking about ABS nightmares.

You take yours to the dealer on a trailer when it sneezes and it's 3 hours away, and you call yourself a good mechanic. So how is the Indian being simple helps you?

You're the one going on about your own bike seeping fluids and going in for warranty work, plus needing remaps, etc, not to mention the weak cast frame.

You literally bought a trailer to take your bike to the dealership, @Marcel

Its under warranty Pedro...why would I work on it...?  Have you forgotten Pete's BMW experience...lol. 

Nothing against German engineering....from having looked at the company in general...to bikes to cars...they are over engineerd...why was the Sherman tank better than the tiger. ?

I love how little the IOM style bubble looks on top of that huge bike

Getting back on subject Pedro...you were comparing that beauty from BMW to the powerplus engine...im sure at 160 hp BMW hasn't much left in the tank with that engine...you do realize the powerful powerplus is de-tuned sold to the public...that engine can easily produce over 200 hp with only intake and exaust mods...

I'd give up now if I was you...lol.

Have you noticed Buckster hasn't tried to dispute any of my claims....kinda makes you think don't it...?

[Marcel]

Have you seen this Buck...they are aiming to have bike in the 200 hp range...

Buckster won't tell you this...even thoe the challenger is a race bike...it's still highly restricted by rules to make it a fair race for Harleys...even with a significant displacement disavantage...112 ci..to 135 ci...

Its because the tiger tank was and over engineered machine...it looked good on paper...but was a nightmare to repair out on the field...to complicated for nothing...
