    1. Cruising speed @ 1750 rpm in overdrive... quiet, & smooth.
    2. Effortless acceleration; just crank the throttle.
    3. Don't notice if touring luggage on board due to engine size :-)
    4. 140+ miles between refueling (yeah, I don't do these newfangled kilometers...)
    5. It's a V8.

    Oh Ye of Little Faith.

    But since you ask nicely... this was a recent run from LA (Harbor City) to Carmel, and back - up the PCH, then back on the 101.

    This pic was taken gassing up before climbing The Hill back on the 101. Immature, but fun; I cranked it hard with added NOS on the uphill sector and passed absolutely everything including Chargers, Camaros and Corvettes. They passed me again downhill - but hey, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot; why should I care, by then I was back in Laidback Cruise Mode. As you can see, luggage weight is immaterial when you've got 650 hp on tap (502 hp by dyno with the V8 engine, plus a 150hp shot of nitrous on demand...)

    Gear indicator.

    Oh yes, I'm surprised how many bikes didn't come with this. Some people would say "You should be remembering what gear you're in in your head!" but because I'm so stupid I like to see exactly what gear I'm currently in without guessing.

    Very handy.

    Getting on the current bike is like slipping on a body suit.

    Favourite things you like about your motorcycle? That would have to be the 256 LED bike wheel light kit I just fitted.
