Putting aside the 140km/h and whether it was safe to do it in a turn, my Speedmaster is quite capable of keeping up in the twisties with the larger bore cruisers. I ride with a group of 1300 and 1800 VTXs locally plus a few H-Ds too, and if it's a twisty road they are hard pressed to keep up. While they're grinding pegs in 25mph turns, I'm barely scraping off the chicken strips on my Metzelers. Once we get onto the straightaways though, I'm dust. But then I don't push my bike much past 80-85 mph.
