I really love the SS bikes.

I love the 904/944 two-valve motors....buckets of torque, light and compact but easy to work on with enough HP to make things exciting, with a great feel and virtually no "issues" with the exception of too-small gauge wires from the alternator that causes some toasting of rectifiers; and some 95-97 motors had stretchy cylinder studs (fixed under warranty, usually) but if you address that wiring issue, change the oil and keep the belts current, they usually will run forever...

Smooth, even power delivery and hotted up Hi-comp pistons and a little flow work on the heads, Nichols flywheel and you have 100+ hp with 80-90 ft lbs of torque......in a package with a full tank of gas that can weigh in the 375lb range.....
