Depends on what you want to spend. For the least money---Higher flow air filter, next---new pipes (2-1 usually work the best for speed/HP gains)
Then you could get into turbocharging, supercharging, nitrous, bigger displacement............

Yeah depends on much you want to spend.
I installed Reinhardt two to one pipes ( about $600) and the Power Commander III. ( $360)

night-rod is rated 125 hp and 85 tq ~ is this at the crank or rear tire? also ~ Rocks ~ for about a grand ~ what did you get with respect to added hp/tq. (on the air cooled, big twins, it seems each hp cost about $100 or more).

This being said, about 14-16 for a $1000 for 2-2 and 2-1 are usually better for hp gains.

so .. about 132 hp to the crank gets you 142 mph .. I'm seriously looking at a v-rod to complement my dyna; but I want to make sure it'll do everything I require other than keep me thrilled with raw power and acceleration *lol*

Crankshaft hp is a crap measurement, the only real measurement is how much you're putting on the ground.

I unfortunately do not know how fast the stock 1250 is, sorry. Because of the relatively new production of the Revolution engine it has not been around long enough for an accurate estimation of longevity, but I have heard of many people with over 60,000 and absolutely no problems. I have read reports of expectations of well over 100,000 before any major engine work. I personally would expect the Revolution to outlast its air-cooled brothers because of the lack of extreme heating/cooling cycles.
