X2lee, you never raced AMA 600 street stuff
A race on a twisty between the 2 said bikes....
It's a very believable story.

a dyna sport could take any bike. Depends on the numbers. He has an undocumented 103 build. Theres 95 kits that can put out the same amount of power as a vrod. Maybe hes got a 50 shot of nos on top of it. I used to have a 5000 pound truck that would decimate a vrod. Depends on the driver and the engine. I bet theres plenty of people with vrods that push it hard and think their running 11.5 second 1/4 miles, but are running more like 13.8's or 14.0's.

I bet a lot of these guys would be lost on a race on a twisty
You guys shouldn't shame gents who want to show HD power in a road race. Read some frikkin Harley history. A company who once prided itself on it's dependability and racing heritage.

And the vrod rider lacked skill. So why knock the guy that won?

No, you get real,the numbers don't lie,there's more big hp twins than you realize.Not to mention the skill level of the rider.I'm not bad, but I have a buddy who's an AMA pro,all he needs is a good handling bike with 70 hp and on a twisty roadit's: ADIOS BIG HP DUDE!

Straight up, un-modified V-rods:
02-04: 148mph at the rev limiter
05-newer: 142 at the rev limiter
Yes, they will hit the rev limiter in 5th in less than a 1/4 mile. Just be happy we don't have 6 gears. Now the trick is to find a stock V-rod. I've run with some big air-cooleds that could stay with me on the straights. I've even been out accelerated after 60mph. There are some wicked fast big twins out there.
If you left a V-rod in the twisties or he couldn't catch you, the rider doesn't know how to ride. Most of us chase sport bikes through the twisties. We don't often catch them, but we have fun trying!! I love the looks on their faces when the find out a Harley WITH a passenger was ******* them.
