Title: 487cc X3
Post by: Suzuki Stevo on August 29, 2015, 05:01:20 PM
1461cc is the answer, my retirement bike a Suzuki Boulevard C90T (http://www.suzukicycles.com/Product%20Lines/Cycles/Products/Boulevard%20C90/2015/C90T.aspx) is 1462cc. Anywho, Stevo sightings in Washington State will be on the rise soon, that is all I had  :thumb:

ive ridden one of these. LOVED it. except for one problem. it sat low and WIDE. I COULD not flat foot her sitting on it. ( 5'10"  30" inseam) but a fine machine to ride. almost as torquey as my hd was the c90 is a great bike though :)

Cube for cube the imports can out grunt HD's, my M50 (805cc) makes one more horse than an 883, and also makes more ft pounds of torque at a lower Rpm, all with a smaller engine, water cooling is the key. I haven't yet compaired the C90 to a 88 Twin Cam.

EDIT: Finding HP Torque figures all over the board for both, looking now that I'm not at work
