So how does a 2.3litre bike go? Or that just a stupid question??

Can you compare it to the grunt of a 1 litre sportsbike?

I tell you what.  I currently have that vstar 650.  Only 35hp (mine probably has 40).  I can not come close to keeping up with my friend when we go riding.  He drives a Honda 919.  With the rocket I'd have no problems :)

I was to 45mph in 1st gear in no time :)

2300cc should pull stumps out of the ground...!

In a year I might get one.

I'd also look into getting a pull behind camper for bikes (which is a glorified bed with a cover that folds up).

If you look at the rest of that albumn I test drove a Victory Vegas too.  Decent, glad I drove that one first before the rocket :)
The kawasaki is the bike I had in college, the vstar is what I currently have.

I've got a Triumph car that's only got a 1700 CC motor. :)
