I didn't say it was the fastest... but I said it was fast. Willing to bet it would give some smaller cc sportbikes a good run in a drag race.

Haters will hate. It's just life.

On the actual topic...

Harley reported a $146.5 million profit in 2010, compared with a $55.1 million loss in 2009.

I ran my 636 a number of years ago. Best was a 10.5 at 130mph, after a LOT of trying and learning proper launch technique.

And the best I would get out of the same bike is a 13 second pass. LOL

Not an equal comparison unless same rider or determined equal in ability.

Yeah...We ran next to each other on like 4 Runs one night...Lol

Bonestock and Not knowing how to launch right...11.5 @ 11X

It gives my 6R a good run...I have more RPM's and a higher top speed. But all in all it's a good race.
