Of course, 116 with 585cams 115-118 horsepower, the 121/126-131 all have 120 hp, to torque just increases bigger the bore kit. That’s why the 116, with a cam can keep up

Fish, I rode the 126, 116 with cams and a stock 116 from St Paul last Saturday. The 126 was my favorite, but that 116 with cams got down. We had 3 guys riding all 3. The 116 cams was keeping up with 126 on the road.

He's a heavier rider but he is also on his bike and has his junk in the bags, where you are on a sale bike with nothing in the bags and weigh less as well. power to weight ratio, the 126 is certainly impressive.

My Wife and I enjoy riding the backroads looking at the scenery, and sometimes I ride pretty slow. The Pursuit doesn't like slow. That is my humble opinion. I am still getting used to the Pursuit, and maybe I need to adjust my riding style, shift patterns, etc., when riding slowly 🐌 😅 The Chieftain was great for that riding style. We also ride on the HWY, State roads, etc., and it does great. Don't get me wrong, I love the Pursuit and could list many items I like.
