Why Is Cruiser Gear Different From Sportbike Gear

Let`s take a look at why sportbike gear is different than cruiser gear. The answer is not all that complicated, really; it`s driven by several factors, but the one that is most influential is speed and power. The average Harley Davidson (stock) with a 96 cubic inch motor produces about 80 horse power. The new 2013 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R claims to produce about 197 HP right off the showroom floor. This is one of the main reasons sportbike gear is vastly different in safety features and style -- sport bikes are faster.
