I wouldnt go that far. It's fast. But theres alot of things faster out there.

I havent ridden with him since he got more work done but I walked him from 3rd gear on...It might be like 4th now...Lol

But it's def a nice bike

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.

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.

Friend of mine is sales mgr for a hd and jap bike shop, he claims hd sales have been steady if not increasing whereas jap bike sales have plummeted since early last yr.

That actually was just quoted on national numbers on cyrils blog. The numbers were insane.
