A person's first post says they beat a Busa with an 883,,

Please, Don't feed the trolls!!! They are on a special diet..

 

Don't know about 1/8 mile, but a stock Warrior is around 95hp and 100ftlb with a very good rider will bust into the high 11s in the 1/4 mile,, a stock 1200 Sportster is around 75hp and 79ftlb will be high 12s or low 13s.
Not sure about the torque curve and gearing, Sportster might pull harder early, Metrics often rev a little higher and produce their power at higher RPMs.

Modified is a whole different story, you can do anything with enough money.

 

That is a sharp looking bike (literally!). Love the stance, love the tank. The seat, not so much... but that is just my humble opinion.

 

Thing is that these are bikes, not cars. There is not a TON of stuff that can be done "undercover". Things like exhaust, velocity stack, etc. cannot be hidden. I could see an over bore or pulling the baffles, but much of the performance stuff could be seen by a visual inspection.

BTW, someone mentioned that their Sportster made a 5.0L look foolish. I own seven Mustangs and can tell you that the 5.0L Mustang was not that fast of a car (215 h.p. for the 1995 GT, 245 for the Cobra). Power to weight ratio is just not there, like it is with a bike. Race a new GT500 Supersnake with slicks and see how the cager performs then.

 

Any one see that this thread is almost a year and a half old.

 

I didn't see it was that old, but I noticed it was popped to the top by a one post troll.

 

Same here, bro.

 

My 1200 Sportster, she's a beast. I have to watch how much trottle I give, or it will leave without me.

 

There are some significant performance enhancements that are not visual. My 1250 Sporty, still has all of the original 883 labeling. Looks just like it did, when it was an 883.

muuuuuhahahaha

 

I fixed this post a little
somehow details were left out of the original LOL
