i think you need to make some new friends ...

 

Both the VROD hp 117 I think and a sportster 883 bored to a 1200 and buell heads and supporting mods can be around 100 hp. Still night and day with a sport bike...Our hp to weight ratio kills them..........

 

what does your friend want for his Vrod?

 

i dont need to make new friends i have yall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

you know this got my attention so i had to step in an say NO WAY would a v-rod even come close. it's harley's numbers they use not what I have seen with my own eyes at the track and street. a good and I mean good driver can get one heck of a take off with a v-rod and then it's all over for it. they just don't move like they claim.

 

hell boys,
i have a 1800 goldwing that makes these boys look bad . crap the motors are like briggs and straton lawn mower motors once they reach a certain rpm they just flaten out not a hope and prayer against a 1k no way any where any time.
