My K1200R. Dino’d to the wheel at 167 HP, around 110 lbs torque and around 425lbs in weight.
My ZX-14, dino’d at 178HP to the rear wheel, can’t remember the torque but I think it was in the 125 + range. About 475 in weight.
Neat.
The Rocket III is a cruiser, and obviously not made to compete in the same market as liter-bikes. Hell, with a +98” wheelbase it barely manages to turn off a 2 lane road without entering into the opposing lane of traffic. It’s the semi-tractor of motorcycles.
Shoulder-pulling, straight-line power from 0-60, upright cruising comfort with forward controls, and the balls to move around on the tollway without downshifting is more than enough for me.
178whp would only get my DL taken away or get me killed.
Had one of those survival knives exactly like this and lost it. It has the sharpening stone in the sheath as well. Man I wish I could find another one. It was truly bad ass.

Nothing like the feeling of a chicken's skull crush between your fingers.
I did too in the early/mid 70's.
It was plastic and we bought it at the five and dime, but man I loved it!
My wife and her flower fetish that I support 100% while also thinking of ways to torment her.
It compelled me to do some research. Jackpot!
Nature is so beautiful. Lol.
It's a poppy from the far east. I ordered some online a while back and then forgot about it shortly after. A few months go by, and a hand-addressed envelope from Sri Lanka arrives with customs stamps all over it. The broken "Engrish" thanked me for the purchase, and a little baggy containing a handful of seeds was enclosed.
Instantly I envision a 3rd world sweat shop with a little kid fat-fingering a letter for a bowl of rice as his family labors in a poppy field surrounded by AK-wielding thugs.
Gardening just became cool again. Lol.

For those posting aircraft pics of WW II....THANK YOU! The two pics of Robin Olds are stunning!
Huge Russkie troop transport from the cold war; designed to fly within ground effect (generally 1/2 wingspan or lower) to get free lift without secondary drag…pretty clever idea actually.
My step son and DIL have one of those cursed things...that's about what I would like to do with it...
Ha! good catch. I have to look closer next time.
