Deezul Guy, you're on target on this one. That's why they have an All Harley Drag Association! If the rice rockets we're allowe to compete, the frustration levels of the Harley Riders would be terminal. Having been a biker for over forty years, and only recently (eight years), a Harley rider, I can truthfully say that the ONLY reason to ride a Harley is for that soothingly rythmical firing pattern that sounds SO GOOD!
But for speed??? Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Ducati, Boss Hoss, BMW, and any number of Harley clone manufacturers have Harley beat stone cold!!! As a matter of fact, that's one reason why, in the face of escalating diesel prices, I stick with my Cummins! There's no way the V-8 throb of my gas RAM can compare with the growl of my Cummins!
By the way, feel free to try to match that 13. 97 time with a showroom Fat Boy. Surely everyone knows that bikes, cars, and trucks lent to magazine rider/writers are CAREFULLY selected!
