Pretty much exactly what I did, seemed crazy at the time.. putting a brand new bike on the lift and yanking her guts out. If you want big power the 120R is the best value out there.

I know where you are coming from. Did mine last year and haven't looked back. 120R changes the bike and ride and made it more fun for me, espcially when I ride two up on my Ultra.

Wish I had a 120R as a starting point.

I won't back down from one either

A roller 1/4 mile simulator seriousally, no offense but those things are way off in real 1/4 times and trap speeds. Now if I saw those bikes running down a real strip running 9.5-9.8 (which I highly doubt) then I would believe it. I would say if they had a slick tire on back they could run low 10's. But even still a stock busa with good rider can run high 9's all day, average driver low 10's.

The OP I doubt is out to challenge 'Busas for trap times. What the 120R will do is make your bagger exponentially more fun to ride. Good luck with your mods. I'm going bigger next spring, most likely a FM 107, but who knows, a 120R could be in the equation.

To claim something like that I expected a video of a Harley smoking a Busa down a real 1/4 stretch. Not that it can't be done, that video showed nothing

To the OP have you shopped around yet to differant dealers and indy's for a price quote yet? Your question answers will vary because differant areas/dealers/indy's charge differant prices overall. But if that quote fits your budget to spend then go for it! A 120r motor would be fun to roll around in. Just make sure to get a seat with a back rest on it, so you don't go flying off the back when you rip the throttle
