very funny (certainly not to the sportster riders) --- one of the guys I ride with has a sportster 1200 w/pipes, he's oneM&M away from 250lbs----every time we hit the gas on the interstate he gets left---we have to wait for him to catch up.

He's getting a bagger at the end of the year--we can hardly wait.

Last year I had a 06 1200 XLR and rode alot with baggers and I am 250 lbs. Never once did I get left behind, in fact they couldn't keep up with me!

My Ultra is 98 inches, heads done, 37G cams, 9.8 compression, Fatcats, and I can't keep up with my OL's 95 883 converted to 1200 with S&S carb and Thunderheader. That thing is a f'in ROCKET!! I find all kinds of excuses to tinker with it and then test ride it to make sure I got it right.

Teu

ok---now we have a problem---I thought the bike was slow--now it seems like operator error---a baggerwill nothelp this issue---I'll have to have a serious talk with the man
