Hop on that Vulcan and ride! I get 35 with 2.5 times the displacement (2053 CC's) so you should get at least 50!

If the weather's nice, my truck is parked. Period.

There is a BIG difference between - Cubic Centimeters and Cubic Inches...

You have a 2.0 liter vs a 5.9 liter engine

So you have 40% of the engine size and maybe only 20% of the vehicle weight..

Are you serious?

I was referring to the 800CC Kawasaki Vulcan he had in his signature pic.
