    I can tell you don't know your American brand bikes. That Road Glide weights around 820 lbs...... that is about double what those plastic imports weight.

    Otty, the import bikes don't weigh so little because they are "plastic" They weigh so little due to extensive use of alloys, and modern methods of control filled casting techniques. composites like carbon fiber help, but you will be hard pressed to find any stressed members like frames made of CF ona street bike.

    Try taking an 800 lb bike with 50-60 hp and do that well you have talent its a bike that weighs a ton and has short hp and its talent. its not a knock off jap bike with 100ho at 300 lbs this is usa built pride at its finest. Heck it took 2 qts of oil just to get the tire to spin but talent to ride it!

    What's impressive?? It's a Harley. A cruiser. It's pure talent to make something that large and ill fitted to stand up, stand up. Any squid on a sportbike can learn to wheelie or burn out. You just need some frame sliders and a parking lot and you can go all day with no harm done to your bike or anything. Doing that on a harley is incredible.

    I ride an '07 Ducati Monster S2R1000 and I was impressed. The slides are cool, but the wheelie was trick! I can't do either! lol :lol:
