When I took my 883 to a 1250 upgrade, I was able to outrun TC 103's with Stage I's easily...at least up to about 90 mph. Against a cammed (Stage IV) Street Glide the 1250 does pretty well in a race.
I easily get rubber all the way up thru 3rd, and can chirp the rear tire going into 4th. Below is a vid in front of the shop. These are roll on wheelies, no clutch used.

I get your point. I didnt say it doesnt worth that much, I am not sure what's a fair price for that bike, I was talking about how much I was willing to pay.
I am not even sure if there is a fair market value on an item like this. Someone may fall in love with a bike and pay whatever he thinks is good. I am just not rich enough to buy something I know I cannot sell, if need be, anywhere close to what I paid for it. I went and looked at that bike in person a while back. That picture was taken at the shop right after it was done. It looks almost as nice as the picture.
To my point, the bike has been sitting there for over a year.

That's awesome... is that considered the 'break-in' period? lol I keep forgetting about the whole power-weight ratio as compared to all the Street Glides that we ride with. I'm guessing a stretched hardtail (carbureted) may not want to lift that easy... then again I've never rode one.
No, I went on this ride during the break-in-Stretched hardtail will make it a bit more difficult to loft the front tire, but you'll be able to light up the rear tire at will.

Again, a very good point. Considering my parts/build sheet is already in the $3k neighborhood, I may just leave the motor as is - apart from paint/powdercoat... see how things come together with the build and I could always do the 1250 later. I just figured if I am going to have the motor apart to do powdercoat/paint, then I may as well do the work if I have another $1k or so to put toward it.
