No fun beating some a-hole with no experience. I used to mess with the HD boys on my YZF 600. Never once met a guy on a HD that could run with it....ever. I ride my FXD now, and have no desire to run against a Sportbike. Even an average rider can smoke most HD riders, at least up to the first turn. My bike would rev to 11,500 rpms. Sorry, but the average HD just can't hang with that. BTW, I would not trade my HD for anything.

RE: ave raced a crotch rocket
I havent heard much about it but has anyone rode the new liquid cooled buel that looks like it has some promise. Ive road many bueal in my the last couple of years would like one just cause iam used to the powerband of them and they seem to be built better when running in the mountains and on public roads. I would though [put my 83 ironhead up against some good riders with decent sport bikes esecially If I could get a good set of cam, dual plugged worker over heads, ignition, brake system, and the smaller stoker kit availible for it. Thats just because it revs fast and very high for a HD.

I recently picked up my Ninja XR14 with no intent of outdoing someone else. Especially a fellow H.D. rider. Actually bought it because I think this will be the last year to buy a mass production bike with this power. But then again...if someone challenges me?...

I used to race my friends' Titan stop light to stop light on my R1. He would always hole-shot me and I would run him down in 2nd gear. No contest really, just messing around. We would then switch bikes and go again-same outcome. There is simply no contest. The power to weight ratio is not even close.

Even a spode on an R1 can murderlize a Pro on a HD whatever. Harleys aren't made for racin', they're made for lovin'.
