Yeah looks like he might be a retard. I just read up on the specs, and it looks like it has a top speed of 96 MPH, 50 HP, and 64 ft-Lb of tq.

Probably close for an 883.

The Marauder will lose to a 1200 in the 1/4 by just under a second and a half. It will beat an 883 by more than a full second.

You know I had no clue that my Ford Lightning will beat both an 883 and a 1200 sporty in the 1/4. lol.
