We hit Virginia Beach Blvd. and rolled to a light. I looked at him and told him that chicks ride 600's, and good luck keeping up. The light changed, and I took him in the hole shot (I don't have to worry about wheelies), I was half way through 2nd when he finally hit 16,500rpm in first, long story short, 95mph, he had just caught up. I know that a ninja 250 will beat the sporty's in TOP END, but stock for stock against ANY 600..... DONE

what have you done to your bike ?..the gsxr1000 is a 150hp motorcycle that weighs about 450lbs.Looking at an old magazine they have it running the 1/4 mile time at 10.10 at 142 mph.

I think this whole thing is sort of silly. I love the Sportster for what it is - quick and tight. Light it isn't. Fast, well, can be. Plenty fast enough, anyway. Mine is totally tricked out, both engine and suspension. It dynos at just under 100hp at the rear wheel, so it is quick enough, but not quicker than my BMWs. But I didn't buy it to be quicker than my BMWs. I bought it for the pure enjoyment it gives me for being what it is: a comfortable small cruiser that is solidly built.

I have a bone stock '09 1200N and just yesterday, I got into it with a co-worker. He has an '08 CBR600RR, also stock.

Sporty with the complete stage 1 may even hang with stock 750's. Might be a bit of a stretch, but its a reasonable goal.
I know that I have not yet been taken off the line, but it's bound to happen sometime.
New question, HOW can a rocket launch at his torque peak and not flip or fry the clutch.
Us cruisers can. SPORTY'S RULE!!

I had a ninja 600R, and currently have a sporty 1200. Totally different animals. The ninja would be behind the sporty from a dead stop for 70 feet, then would FLY by the sporty. from a rolling start, it would not even be close.
