The stock vs stock the 1200, juice either one depends on the rider.&nbsp\\; The 1200 is one quick Harley.&nbsp\\;

more depends on the rider than anything. but two good riders box stock bikes the 1200. would be faster most of the time it will get you dead faster too.

I would think the Sportster Would be faster off the line, &nbsp\\;but I would think above a 100mph, the Superglide would overtake the Sportster. Not sure, as I have only taken my SuperGlide above a 100 once and that wasn't for very long. Just needed to know.
