Proof it is sometimes the rider and not the bike, thanks for the vid.
Its not the HP its the Torque in the short run, that and *****.

I noticed each run, after the launch Hildo drifted left in front of Ricky.
I still got a kick out of the video.

the sportbike is geared for top end.. another block and that sportbike would blow by over 150mph.. it is funny watching a dragrace.. i used to ride a cb750, i bought a cbr1000 then sold the old 750 cheap to a friend. he would beat me every time from light to light

the hog could go full throttle from the start because of the wheelbase.the CBR would just flip if he did that.Now a 2012 ZX14 with traction control would be another story.Fun vid though and I liked the harley guys sense of humor.

I think Hildo has a bit more than 70HP and stock torque.
