Fact.
I'm glad someone caught that.

It is a bigger motor with HUGE pistons compared the the 675, of course it has more torque.

The torque curve of the 675 is very linear and builds steadily like most inlines.

The Buell curve is funny. It is close to peak at around 2700, then falls on it's face and doesn't get back into the 70's until around 5500.

FACT.

With the Buell, you're best served to keep it between 2000-2700 or between 5500-6750. Either way it is a narrow window.

OPINION.
