Chap at work has one with huge ape hangers. Got some huge block in there too- 1340cc I think. He's got the legs on me to about 90ish then I just fly right by- the HD tops out at 110ish, by which point I've already fucked off down the road. Mind you I did get my arse handed to me by a Yamaha Vmax a while ago. I thought that'd be a fair fight and I got killed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These bikes are also crap at going round bends, but in a straight line, they will eat pretty much anything from a standtill, for the ones who don't know much about them, they are a V four, with a carb for each. wind her open normally, you will get one carb feeding the one pot, give her a handful, and she will change to two carbs feeding the one pot. I've seen a few with Nitro fitted too. They are quite an old bike now, but I still think they look sexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRASUZUKI Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Just wondered, I've never seen one shooting past at a high speed but they sound fast Are they fast?? Fast in comparison to what? In comparison to 'most' cars they'll accelerate reasonably quickly, so could be viewed as fast, although they don't have a high top speed. In comparison to mid range (600cc) sports bikes they're slow. In comparison to similar capacity sports bikes (1000cc+) they're pedestrian. Having said that, I suspect the reason you don't see many tearing past is because people who buy them don't buy them to go tear-arsing around.

Tricky-Ricky Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Very true you don't buy a Harley to hoon about the country roads, and you don't buy a sport bike to cruse the motorways, I also used to like the Yamaha V Max, but it has now been usurped by the Triumph Rocket 3 in the 0 to 60 stakes, with a time of 2.8 sec.

Charlotte Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I was on my way to my mums a while ago and it's all country lanes at the back of Farnham/Tilford. Unfortunately I ended up getting stuck behind a Harley 'meet'. There wasn't anything cool about it at all, mostly old men with their beer bellies protruding. Seemed like family fun though.

Which makes them a bit less cool in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
