yes, i guess if you want to get technical i CAN'T keep up with EVERY SINGLE CROTCH ROCKET OUT THERE....Aside from the busa and ninja, any other STOCK crotch rocket will have problems beating me in the straights
The Duc would give you a run. The 1199 Panigale S has 195hp and 98 ft/lbs and weighs in at only 361 lbs. All of the 1K RR's have similar specs but with high revving 4's.

I looked up that ducati and thats one bad *** bike, espcially with how light it is...that thing would definitely smoke me, thats for sure. It does weigh over 400 pounds though, you listed the dry weight. Still that thing has got to be insanely fast

I had a pro charger on a 06 GTO along with cam and exhaust work.
Of all my cars (including a 96 Hennesey GTS Viper) that was my FAV.
Super chargers will make a believer out of you. Then ad some NOS for good measure, hang on, and start paying for broken stressed parts...

Your bike is awesome, love the pro charger and engine work you have done on it.
You know they say you dont get your money back on resale for the ad on parts.
That said please pm me when you want to sell that puppy @ avg retail for a "gently" used softail

Grats on beating a rocket. I don't think you are full of **** I just don't think the dude could ride on the rocket. I believe you beat him, but in reality he should have been alot closer which leads me to believe he could not ride. on my 07 Gixxer 1000, I launch at 10K RPM with the fron end strapped and rear dropped 1.5 inches. It will still flip over and wheelie. I feather the hell out of the clutch to keep it down. Pulling a 1.9 60 I ran a 6.7 in the 1/8 of mile, and I am 225 Lbs.

Why thank you, sir!

P.S. - Mine WON'T smoke a 600 crotch rocket, but it is sounds like it will!

LOL, now didnt that make you feel better? You do have a nice bike and like i said before i dont know if you did or if you didnt, i have no reason to believe you didnt, it is possible, mine wont outrun a fat woman in a wheel chair, not that there is anything wrong with fat woman or wheel chairs, geeezz im sure someone will have something to say about that to, but the V&H's does scare the crap out of old women and little kids.
