It's a combination of the Doppler Effect and High vs Low frequencies.

That was in an episode of "Malcolm in the Middle" where the youngest son explained that to another kid in class. I learned more from that episode than from an entire semester of high school physical science.

I have to agree with the assessment. For the money, both Honda and BMW offer more.

I wouldn't consider Honda or BMW to be value leaders either. BMWs are pretty pricy for what you get too, although they do offer quite a bit of technology (truth be told, newer Hogs are more technologically advanced than they appear, offering FI on pretty much everything now and ABS on several models).

I hear the new Helicon engine in the 1125R is amazing. Over the summer I'm going to have to test drive one.

Have you seen the 1125CR?

I'm actively considering trading in my Lightning for this bad boy.

Reminds me a bit of the B-King if they took the strange looking mufflers and cut them off and mounted them up front as giant intakes.

How's that Lightning treating you Sander?

Apart from replacing a couple seals she's been treating me good. Almost three years I've owned it now.

Nice. Is it you first bike?

What's the difference between the 1125R and CR?

The CR is filed under "street bike" instead of "sport bike." Basically the same difference as between the Lightning and the Firebolt.
