Denys A harleys are made for different things than sport bikes but they are still fast and can beat most normal cars in a drag race (at least some of the modern ones) Riding a sports bike on a long road trip is painfull (it could be fun for a few hours but after riding for a longer time you would get very uncomfortable) and on a harley you can just relax and cruise around for hours Camparing a superbike to a harley is like comparing a ferrari to a bentley (both are fast but very different from each other) I still prefer sport bikes though but i'd also like to own a harley one day because those things are badass

It's about running what ya got, not about winning every race against the next Street Rossi or Ricky Gadston. I had a 350Z that took a month of Sunday's to get to the end of the 1/4 mile and burnt up the clutch because the guy next to me in his rat rod was so loud, I couldn't hear my car banging off the limiter! Whereas my H2 has launch control and will smoke any and everything else that I own! You go you have fun, make new friends, you break stuff and you learn.

M24A6 still not fair power to weight ratio is the ultimate key average super sport still trumps Harley on torque numbers so not even the factor

[@M24A6]

So the R6 with torque of 45.5 will pull away from the Electra glide with a torque of 111. while pulling camping trailers.

[@imssgmiller]

M24A6 dont be stupid i said average super sport. A 103 cube Harley and 2017 R1 share the exact 83 ftlbs of torque with the R1 pushing double. Wanna compare a 103 cu to 34 cu R6 good try, plus my money is on the R6 still as the clutch probably would handle better than the Harley stock for stock

[@M24A6]

So an average super sport does not include an R6, now that sounds pretty stupid. I see you picked a 103 ci from a 2016 Harley which is actually 95 ft lbs instead of the 2017 Harley which is 100 ft lbs. and you do realize a trailer could be about another 500+ lbs of weight that you expect an R1 to tow.

[@JimWakable]

So.. in other words, the stuff that actually makes it "go"... is still... you guessed it... made NOT in the USA. No confusion here, golly the stuff that actually matters (like electronics) is made in Japan! So what about the overweight 1930's technology frames, it does make sense to make those lower tech- items (like the frames)in the USA. Considering something like 75% of a Toyota Camry car for the North American market is sourced in North America, does it matter? The term "assembled" in America is still far more accurate - making bold claims about how much makes no sense... not in a global market. Parts come from everywhere in the world now (PS which is why Trump's absurd policy of scrapping free trade and implementing tariffs everywhere will ultimately hurt the US economy significantly). Electronics from Japan, Australian wheels, Italian brakes, USA frame, and nearly everything else from China, etc etc. who cares in a global market. Don't; worry HD fans, being majority produced outside of the good ol' US of A, including being "made in China" is also no longer a bad thing. You pay Chinese manufacturer's for quality assurance of their products. That is why you can pay for a 3.99 watch or a $3999 dollar watch, but guess what; the same watch parts are majority still-made in China and come out of the same factory! There is a very good reason where "single sourced" makers, never say exactly how much of "their" product is actually sourced from their own country... Switzerland and all their ballyhoo about "Swiss-made" comes to mind. Chinese manufacturing has evolved from the days of yesteryear. It is so American ego to slam "Chinese junk" when there clearly is a reason it is made there. You pay the Chinese under contract not for the part but the quality assurance process applied in the making of it. Not saying that made in China parts on an HD is a bad thing - for a 29,000 new bike, that should pay for a lot of Chinese QA...

Roy Batty, I presume your referring to Buell's handling slightly better cornering then Harley's. I think the only Buell with half decent horse power is the 1125 lol

[@Texarmageddon]

meefking8404 1125s were decent... they didn’t have the top end of the inlines but they had enough mid range and low torque to take most 1000s in a 1/4 mile if you were caught slacking ... Which is a good amount of riders it seems these days listening to them take off at a red light

Got a Superglide new. I wish they would have let me test ride it first. Terrible front breaks that i had to upgrade, rear breaks not much better, terrible rear suspension i had to upgrade, ran lean and poorly from the factory until i reprogrammed it. Three separate oil baths? That went out in the early 1970's. I would think that a "premium" brand would be better. I did the work myself and it still cost over $2000 to get it running and stopping minimally acceptable. In 2018 there is no brand loyalty any more and younger people won't accept product fails like that. There's no reason to.

Before that he used to race fully built drag Harleys (sponsored and all, apparently) and he said his fastest time was 10.3. Honestly, I was somewhat blown away. 1000s of dollars on a bike for it to still perform lower than the slowest of super sports? Offered to let him take it for a ride and he declined.

I just got a stage 1 on my 2012 Fat Boy (intake exhaust and super tuner)(103). It definitely woke it up a noticeable amount but it's not "fast" by any means. Not bad from 0-60 but after that it is pretty whimpy compared to a rocket. It doesn't even have enough power to go over about 115. If I upgraded to stage 2, 3, or 4, I imagine it would bump it up a lot more but rockets are just geared for speed period. I'm not concerned with racing anyone, I just like the look and sound most of all.

[@MrDickBills]

I have a CBF1000 that is just like a large comfortable scooter to ride. It cost next to nothing to buy and insure, and covers miles with ease. It is easily the fastest thing on the road amongst ordinary traffic. Would I take it to the drag strip and challenge the R1's and Hayabusa's out there? Of course I wouldn't. It is fast enough in the real world, but would be thrashed by the faster bikes in a race. Could it out comfort a Hayabusa. I don't know. From what I have read about Harley Davidson motorcycles, could it out comfort one of those. With the smooth shove from the dohc 16v engine it seems that it certainly would. I have no idea what a Harley does better than my cheap bike, apart from image, and that is so subjective it does not really count. To me, a frantic four cylinder bike sounds amazing, a twin just sounds like something from a building site.

JimWakable Ever see the “Silver book”? Shows the designing and stages of the 12R design to reality. There’s pics of the 14 in it they were literally designed side by side they just hung onto the 14 design few more yrs and refined it. They knew it’d be the king daddy when they launched it. The 12 was rushed out to compete with the Busa an it turned into magic 🤘🏻
