Stroking theory question

I rode some harley shovelheads with 4.75" and 5" strokes with 3 5/8" and 3 13/16" bores- they wore out faster but the torque was incredible and it was exhilerating to rev em up.

I agree that the high rev big bore short stroke motors are much faster but I like driving a 114" harley better than a faster 1000cc ninja.
