What is delusional is when people like you can read a factual statement and add in a bunch of "what ifs". What I said actually happened, and like I said many times to other retards like you that can't seem to read. The guy was cauoght off guard and in the wrong gear, then probably too yellow to wind out the bike. Doesn't matter, I pulled him on the highway. RG 1, pos 0.

Factual? You know the other guy was in "top gear"? Do you know the guy wasn't really a girl, or girly man like you??

Wow one would have to wonder who the retard is.

i dont beleve i read all 122 posts! good read really.i am way suprised with all yall expressing how sport bikes are faster than your harleys. a fact i do know well. once raced a 500 suzuki (a friend) thought my 91 dyna sturgis eddition was the bees knees, fast as heck. well i smoked the back tire for 100 yards but in the run he ended up a bike or so in front of me. shocked i was! shocked. well last june i bought a busa to ride while i am fixin a dropped valve. holy freakin speedin ticket batman! i have done as you have, zipped past a kangaroo rocketeer on my dyna, feels good, its fun. but my dyna hits a wall at 110mph, then slowly climbs twards 128mph. on the busa, i dont get passed unless i want to be passed.

good story, thanks for posting!
and thanks for the map link.

I pulled a sportsbike, i'd sooner pull a woman!!!

And I said i would not get involved in harley vs sports bike debates!

Having got a Harley and a speed triple i can say that there is no way a Harley can outpace a 600 + sportsbike unles you have spent a lot of money on it. But when riding the speed trip, some times i am poodleing along in top gear doing around 50. Some other bikes like to come up and pass which i dont care. if they say at the end of it I smoke a 1000cc triple then so be it the only racing I do is on a track. Top gear at 50 doing about 3000 (high tickover) revs and you open it up and the bike is sluggish to pull away till you hit about 75 then it will pull to 140 if you can hang on being a naked bike. Drop down four gears to second at 50 and snap open the throttle then the front wheel is off the ground.

The other thing is that sports bikes will go around corners a look quicker than harley's. I know when i forget i am on the fatboy and the floor boards touch down! i love both my bikes, the harley for just cruising around or going on the motorways carrying camping gear etc, the speed trip for the track days and the twisty roads and an adrenilne rush.

It's not about luck. It's about buying whatever you want to buy.

regardless what gear the rockets were in. if he was in 6th gear at 120km/h. all he would have to do is roll the throttle back, and that rocket would be doing 200km/h in a few seconds.

and zeus still didnt explain how his bike tops out at 140km/h, but was somehow able to get it up to 190km/h when he did his ricer fly by on the rockets??

I own one of each myself, a 75 shovel in the process of rebuilding after a near fatal last yr. Its motor is done up to 93 cubics and a killer cam, hadder up to 130mph, yes american conversion lol. naked/no windshield, mind u she moves like a raped ape. BUT.... my zx636 does that effortlessly in the top of 3rd/ bottom of 4th gear. freakin things are quick, but still would rather ride my Shovel over my zx anyday. God speed and ride safe ladies and gents.
