RE: Chubby riders
after 4 hits of PCP everything feels slow, especially to a harley owner 
f4i will run circles around the 883 sportser. if you are referring to the Vrod then yes, the f4i might not keep up.
the bottom line for you comparison is this. its not the weight of the bike + the rider, nor the amount of torque or power produced by the bike. it all comes down to the expectation from the rider.
some riders think they need more power, others think they need more torque + etc and after you had you fill of the bike you will always want to upgrade to something faster and more powerful.
harley people always under estimate the sports bikes because of the smaller displacement. its the nature of the game.
there is a reason why they are called supersport bikes; and how many harlys do you see on the track during a MotoGP race?

RE: Chubby riders
Well i'm 6' and 200 lbs w/out gear and I have smoked my friend on his 954 when I had my F4i.These F4i's are very fast,I kind of miss mine,but like the torque of my bike,but that's about it. As far as HD my co-worker has a 1200 w/ a screaming seagull kit in it and he thinks he's the ****e,but smoked his @ss on my Yamaha seca 600 which has about 50 HP.Just ride what you like and be safe.
