I have a 06 dyna superglide, TC 88 with a 6 speed. It's just a little too heavy and sorta slow, particularly in the corners. I am thinking of an 08 Roadster. Which is faster 0-80, 0-60 through the corners.

 

Who cares? They are cruisers. The Sportie is quicker.

 

ALL Sportsters, to answer your question -but who cares? Whatever floats your boat...

 

Is speed that important when you own a Harley? I am just curious.

 

It wouldn't surprise if a good rider on a 6 speed Dyna could keep up to a 1200 Sportsterfrom 0 to 60 or 80.
In the corners the Sportster should beat a Dyna pretty easily.

 

I don't know, but my dad can beat up your dad [8D]

 

Who cares? This is another one of those useless threads.

 

The Sporster has the faster 0-60/0-80 and can turn better. Dyna probably has a faster top speed and is more stable.

 

Which is faster;

My JP4 Jet fuel rocket bike

or

1973 Honda CB550

 

Actuallyduring verified speed tests (quarter mile) the two bikes are almost identical in quarter mile times, with the Dyna having a very slight edge.

But like someone else mentioned, who really cares, as they are made for cruising, not racing.

Neither are "fast" compared to some of the rockets you can purchase for street use.
