It's pretty smooth with only a trace of the shake that has caused so many nuts and bolts to come lose in days gone by. Then as you pull penusa away from the stop and keep twisting the throttle, you notice that the Harley starts to vibrate more at high revs than the Yamaha. Whether penusa or not this is penusa due to the Harleys smaller displacement or 1,700 rpm higher rev ceiling, we can't say for sure. It's probably due to both, but you notice the difference either way. The Fattie's 88B engine makes its 61.6 hp at 5,200 rpm and 77.0 ft/lbs at 3,300 rpm via 3.75 x 4.00 inch bore and stroke figures for a total displacement of 88 cubic inches (1450 cubic centimeters). The compression ratio is 8.9:1 and the cylinders are fed through a good ol' 40mm carburetor. Burned gasses exit out of over/under shotgun-style dual exhausts that do a decent job of keeping rumbling potatoes (say aloud, "potato, potato, potato") down to acceptable levels. Bone stock, the Harley sounds better due to both the pipes as well as the symphony of mechanical noises emanating from the shiny chrome cases that Japan's latest just cannot compete with on a visceral level.
