Default RE: which is faster ?

I traded my 2004 sportster 1200r for my fat bob and in stock form I would say it would be a tight race but I would give the edge to the sportsteragainst a 96 inch and definatly an advantage against an 88. with mods its a toss up , I think my 103 stage 2 would certainly keepit interesting .
&nbsp\\;both are great bikes and neither has to take a back seat to any bike.

From my experiences
The sportster wins off the line until about 70 mph then the superglide takes over after that.
If its twisties the Sportster wins.

Hmmmm..Very good question. On paper ,because of power to weight ratio the Sportster off the line at least.&nbsp\\; Then once the "96" Dyna gets past second it's over for the lowly Sportster. Why?? Well from riding one myself for 14 years until I got My new Dyna this spring,once I start racing anyone MY *** is so sore that I always had to stop and walk around for awhile so the Dyna will always win...lmao.
