It's also 150hp at 5000 and 180hp from 6k-7k. Yes, it's heavy but it's making WAY more tq than any liter bike and almost the same HP. The liter will have to play catch-up at 1\8 mile and I don't know if it will or not. Gearing, rider, traction, also has so much to do with it. It would be a good fight though.

Mmmmm I think from the hit the Harley will get it but a roll race where a 600cc or liter is in gear and at about 80mph no Harley is keeping up. It’s like a muscle car they can get the hit but you put them in anything else that’s actually sporty and the Harley’s get dusted. It’s all acceleration and no top end. So yes they probably are faster to 60-80 but after that and the bikes have good traction the sport bikes take over. You can’t break or beat the laws of physics.

[@ramsnroses_tv334]

@@MoonshineHarley not saying that they can’t beat a 600cc at some point but again that’s a high modded bike against what is mostly stocks super sports.

I would love to do a roll on from 50-60 mph with my Ducati against this thing!! I am sure its an absolute monster down bottom....but once you are actually going fast the sportbike hits where its strengths are.....remember that a sportbike doesnt even begin making power til 7-8k rpm so out of the hole a Harley can truly take advantage (my Duc makes its power from 8k - 15k where my Harleys its done making power around 6k)....once you are rolling, the power to weight and aero advantage pretty much take over (Its all about physics). Awesome bike Mr Hoke....we see you on the chats all the time....AWESOME to see your bike!!! I agree that adding the carbon wheels is a HUGE upgrade.....I did forged aluminum to my Harley and it made a big difference...but I did carbon to my Ducati and it was out of this world different in every aspect from handling to feel to acceleration...everything just seemed quicker and smoother pretty much everywhere simply from the mass reduction.

@@redrider0151 cool hopefully one of these days we can go riding together that would be fun take care and ride safe

[@just_one_opinion]

@@curtishoke143 I don't think he can beat a liter bike at top speed. Those boys do smackdowns at 180+. And what does that weigh? 650-700lbs?

[@joesteel3459]

@@just_one_opinion the road kings are 800-830lbs. Simple math will tell you a newer liter sport bike would have no problem beating this. My Panigale v4 is 202hp at the rear wheel weighing 360lbs…with the sport bike weighing less than half, it doesn’t take a mathematician to figure it out

[@chadroberts4832]

Awesome bike but I think that stock transmissions days are numbered.

[@derekb5749]

Love the sleeper Road King. Looks stock. But details aren't.

[@redrider0151]

Only give away are those wheels.....anyone "in the know" will see those BST's and know that if he dropped 6k on wheels/rotors that he HAD to have gone big with the motor... :D

[@cindyarnold6333]

Don't know how many cc's a 145 cubic inch motor is, but I do know that it is well over 2000 cc's, you should be very proud that your bike makes roughly the same horse power as a bike that has way less than half the cc's of other bikes, and as the man said, at about three times the cost. Yes, you should puff your chest out and be very very proud.

[@MoonshineHarley]

It’s an American motorcycle made in the USA.

[@badhonky6473]

It also has half the cylinders and is air cooled. Also double the torque. Cool factor also and its american made. New sport bikes arent cheap either. You could do this to a base model softail. Doesnt have to be a top of the line bagger. I ride a zh2 kawasaki and a road glide special. Im not a harley fanboy but do love them.

[@tgbaca0707]

I would have to disagree on your observation talking about cc’s. Making the same power as a bike with literally half the size/cc’s is not a good thing. And for 3 times the cost? That’s an even harder loss. Nothing about those two things are impressive. Very very nice bike though and for a NA harley, those power figures are sexy. But thats it. Only sexy compared to other Harley’s 😅 quite a few liter bikes in their STOCK form make more power and there’s even a cruiser or two making this power in their STOCK form. Not to mention the weight difference also. This is just an amazing bike because Harley themselves don’t offer anything close to it. Shame we have to do stage 5 to something just to get it to compete with some bikes stock 😅 being able to buy a 150hp+ Harley from factory would be cool.

I love how butthurt people get about this 143 vs a 1000cc sport bike, almost like you guys have skin in the game or are sponsored. Tbh who gives a fuck whats faster. Im super glad these guys build these motors and one day ill have one in my electra, and at the same time im super happy for the dude with a H2 or a turbo busa. Just enjoy what you own and live life bro... Not everything needs to be a competition. Do what make you smile the most!!! Atleast we all prefer 2 wheels to 4, Ride safe out there guys. ✌️

[@morrisdennis]

Btr get a chain drive and heavy duty clutch. I'd definitely decat it and get a new tuner...

[@brakinggnus5229]

@curtishoke143 gnarly bike. how do you tolerate the heat? that thing's gotta be an egg cooker!

[@davidbones8947]

The sport bikes have almost half the weight with the same or more HP you will get romped on plus they have better brakes and handling jus saying

[@nuffdoggiggey4103]

What kind of bareings for crank and piston? Pressed and is your rods forged ,they must be what kind of inspection goes into these parts prior to machining?

[@dandubejr5010]

Does it still have a drive belt or did you change over to chain drive

[@dawidos117]

What you guys recommend for transmission fluid?

[@bradboustead1682]

Did it need anything special to keep it cool in hot weather?

[@user-qm6us9pz2k]

“I’m always ahead of them idk what they’re doing” 😂

[@GEARZM]

Question if i have high horsepower in my rg is it still good to tour ? I know mpg will be lower but im talking reliability

[@woodshopmafia4732]

"Tell us how the 143 is"....."the 131 is awesome" lol, this guy is badass.
