It's a skit where a news reporter is interviewing Iraqi nationals and one of them gets upset about the captions at the bottom of the screen, because he thinks he speaks good english.

When are you going to learn ... in the case of motorcycles, size doesn't matter. (Ask the girls if this is true for other things in life )

My 1400 is built for touring - it has 106 hp and 126 nm torque, and weighs 260 KG. Sure, I have a top speed well over 140mph, but I'll never ride that fast because it isn't fun to be sitting in a hurricane (it's a naked bike with no windscreen or fairings).

My friend has a Yamaha R1 with a 1000ccm engine, but it puts 172hp on the road (with 106 nm torque) with a weight of 172kg (yes, a thrust-to-weight ratio of 1:1). He can accellerate much faster than I can, and probably has a higher top speed, because the bike is designed to go faster.

So, you think that he is afraid to ride my 1400'er because his bike has less than 1100ccm? I'm sure that there are a number of people on this site with Gixxer 750s who can and do ride much faster (and much better) than I do - I just happen to enjoy having a large engine that growls when I hit the throttle rather than a small engine that screams.

If you re-read the post we were trying to drum up conversation. It wasn't meant to be serious, but thank you for playing!

In other news, I will never use all of the potential power of my bike. I don't choose a bike for speed.

Obviously - otherwise you wouldn't ride a cruiser

That might hurt if your bike were faster than mine.

It probably is

The spedometer shows a top speed of 260 kmh (161 mph) , but according to the specifications, the top speed is around 235 kmh (145 mph).
