An 05 ZX-10 is only about a 9 sec 1/4, at 153 mph, with a proffesional dirver... I bet this guy couldn't run it in under 11... (but that's just whishful thinking, but most of the rocket guys around here can't drive for $hit). if I were putting a good 130 hp to the rear wheele ya think I'd have a chance?

Gee, if you care that much about a small green man with a cutesy bike that came from a whole diff. galaxy than what yours is meant for... then by all means, do it! Then, you can race me on mylittle trail bike and blow my doors off. It all makes about the same sense.

I figure if the distance is short enough I can take him, you know, the first 50 feet or so [])

Just toss ole Zed in his lap on take off. You shouldn't have any problems beating him.

A horizontal race would be a bad idea

ZX10 (150hp/375lbs weight)
FXDL (70hp/670lbs weight)

You'd have a 50/50 chance if the race was vertical.

Go ahead, race him from New Mexico to Key West, FL...
That's the answer. I said that to one of those idiots one time, challenging him from FL to CA. Then we'd see who could stand up straight at the end.

The only worthy challenge you'd probably win would be to see who could pick more chicks for a ride on the back. Not many want their azz sticking straight back in the open like that. Hee hee.

The only chance you've got is to pop him in the helmet with a 2x4 on the starting line... If he falls over, you'll win that first 50 feet... heh heh...

Is this thread serious???

If so, you purchased the wrong bike if you want to go fast, as that isn't what Harley's are all about, no matter how much money you put in them.

Not much you can do against a $11,000, 998cc bike that only weights 375 pounds and has around 180 horsepower.

Here is an review of the 2004 ZX-10.

Tell him you'll meet him at the local racer road. Arrange a test ride on a 'Gusa and roll up on that!

Maybe he's a noob with a rocket that he can't handle. He may not be around too long.
