RE: Horsepower
Hi sportsterjeep i would think that harley could up the horsepower a little to run with the sportbikes.With the vrod being watercooled opens up the door for alot of performance just look at pro stock drag bikes in the nhra those vrods there with vtwin power beat the japanese bikes every week.Seems to me that they could do it off the showroom too if they wanted to.

RE: Horsepower
I know a couple that have dyno'd at 160 at the rear wheel. Seen a couple of claims of 200, but never seen proof. Me, with my K&\\;N air filter and synthetic oil, I get 109 at the rear. Not sure if one or other or the combination of the two gave me the extra pony, but they added almost 15% to my gas mileage.
