For the last 12 years, it’s been the Victory 106” (1737cc) with enhanced intake, exhaust, tuning and cams etc. The end result being 114 RWHp and 114 RWFtTrq. Absolutely a wonderful experience in power to weight, sound and fun. I hope to have that bike till my end.
Installing a 117” (1917cc) bumps both RW numbers to about 139 which is quite an amazing ride. But, parts alone are nearly $7k so, no, not today.
Since getting the Eldorado 1400 (84cu inch) late last year, with its similar enhancements (except cams), it seems to punch well above its weight class. I’ve never owned or been interested in a bike under 1000cc.
Someday there may be a small block in my future, but most certainly not now. I’m only 65 and still fairly fit for riding.
Decades ago I did build my G5 into a beast with 36mm carbs, a RaceCo cam and a lightened flywheel from Moto International. Plus all the other ‘normal’ upgrades. That old Guzzi was amazing. I think I was CA Mark here on the forum at that time.
I don’t recall ever leaving any bike stock.
