Just wondering how our 1800s stack up against the new street glide screamin eagle?
Now compare the $ per hp and torque numbers. The VTX 1800 bows to no one. Why compare a 6-12 yr old $6000 bike with a 2014 25-$40,000 rideFinally got my co-worker to produce the Dyno sheet, from his 110c.i. SE, to answer this question.
He was just grinning everytime I asked.

No wonder.... 111hp and 123 torque would make anyone smile.
I have beaten my buddy several times. My 110 beats his 110 CVO in any measure. His modified 103 S E is stronger and is getting rebuilt now. His 110 CVO is in the shop also with some sort of head issue. It sure is pretty though. The paint job is awesome.It has the same 110ci displacement, but the street glide has a 6spd transmission so that'll help acceleration.
Like it's always been said, "there is always a faster bike."

Wow, you paint with awful broad strokes there. No one here said anything about any bike being a poser bike. I purchased my bikes, rode them all over this continent from Vancouver BC to Key West Fla. and all points in between. My last 3 tourers have never seen any trailer at all. My VTX however was trailered out to Colorado because I made it a street rod of sorts lowered and big wheels with small sidewall heights and this made the ride harsh. But, as I said, I did that to the bike, not Honda. My VTX was way more comfy before I started customizing it, but it was way cooler than it was when I rode it homeAs I prepared to ride to work today, I thought about wearing a branded helmet, and branded bandana, a branded t-shirt, a branded shirt, a branded thong, a branded pair of trousers, a branded pair of socks, a branded pair of riding boots, a branded pair of riding gloves, a branded riding vest, a set of branded vest chains, a branded patch for my branded riding vest, and a branded pair of riding glasses to work today. I also thought about trailering my bike right up to the installation front gate, off-loading my bike at the front gate, and then riding my bike along the short distance from the front gate to the parking structure, all the while revving my engine right up to the rev-limiter. Then after I parked my ride, I was going to brag to my other riding buddies about how many tens of thousands of dollars I paid for my bike. But then I'd have to buy all of that branded clothing, buy a bike trailer, buy a pick-up to pull the bike trailer, and buy a new bike that costs in the multiples of tens of thousands of dollars. Instead, I wore whatever I felt like wearing today, and I actually rode my bargain-priced bike to work. Sans trailer. I guess that makes me a poser of sorts in some people's eyes.
I have to agree with that. It might squeek past my 1800R, but not a F or C properly tuned. The 110 SG stock gets no better mpg around town or back country. Actually worse If it is moded with stage 1. You do not get what what you pay for. That is the mystique, or maybe the mistake buyers make.A well-maintained and properly tuned stock VTX1800 F will dust any stock Harley Davidson except the Nightrod Special. I know I had one. Would never have sold it, either, except I owed Uncle Sam back taxes and had to sell her for cash to pay my debts.
.............what BRAND did you buy?As I prepared to ride to work today, I thought about wearing a branded helmet, and branded bandana, a branded t-shirt, a branded shirt, a branded thong, a branded pair of trousers, a branded pair of socks, a branded pair of riding boots, a branded pair of riding gloves, a branded riding vest, a set of branded vest chains, a branded patch for my branded riding vest, and a branded pair of riding glasses to work today.

Haha, Yea I'm about 50 lbs heavier than the other guy too! I don't think a couple shorter fenders would make much difference in weight. lol. Anyway I beat him by a bike length on top end running in triple digits.:firstplace:I presume the F and C bikes are lighter than the other models. However, with me on my F, I couldn't beat a Yural. Ha
I wonder how my 1998 Honda 1500 SE would do against the Harley SE? For a couch the Wing is pretty fast. But it can't compare to my 1986 GL-1200.
