Maybe you should be burning rice . Take a demo ride on&nbsp\\;a VRod.

 

Harleys ain't about speed! I've owned snow sleds with 180 hp, and thats at 500lbs. FAST! Building a Harley to be fast cost way to much, and if you do make it truley fast, I doubt it would be easy to live with. Its just&nbsp\\;MHO, and take it for what its worth=.02$&nbsp\\;

 

What year was your 1200?&nbsp\\; If you didn't think that was fast I doubt there is a big twin in the inventory that will satisfy you.&nbsp\\; If you want to stay in the Harley family or at least in the neighborhood you might throw your leg over a Buell or V-Rod.

 

Previous posts said it, if fast is your main requirement then you need a Vrod, but if you like to cruise at normal speeds like an adult then you would probably love a Softail, mine is plenty fast for me, but I hardly ever do burnouts or wheelies at 80 MPH, although I do run WOT now and then, just for the hell of it! Happy trails.

 

I'm sure you realize the softail and dyna engines are basically the same except for the counterbalancer and a few other details. If the softail isn't fast enough, I don't think the marginal performance improvement of the dyna will impress you.

 

IMHO there is no comparison between a sporty and the big twins.&nbsp\\; I had a sporty that was highly modified and it was a ball to ride.&nbsp\\; However the power and torque on the bigger bikes are what makes a Harley a Harley.&nbsp\\; One test ride will do the trick.&nbsp\\; Borrow a friends or even rent one for a day.
