No. I raced a 1% guy who I see all winter on his sportster 1200 with my NH 750. I had him on acceleration, cornering, and braking. I raced a nice custom harley bobber just a couple of weeks ago with my VFR. He started popping wheelies when he noticed me come up behind him. While I was only slightly faster up to about 75 (traffic prevented me passing him), once I was in third I drove past him like he wasn't moving. He tried to keep up till about 100 then realized it was fruitless and a turn was coming up that he didn't have the stones to take at that speed. My bike is a pig compared to even a 900 fireblade, certainly it's no where near a new 1000 RR. They make a dominator version of the vrod it comes with factory wheelie bars and a slick car tire. Its a factory drag bike, and they can only do 10.5 second 1/4 mile times. A stock 1000RR is faster than that with street tires. The BMW S1000R is even faster by a lot. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

That's some nerve, I'd challenge them publicly in front of as many coworkers as possible to road race their Hardly Abelsons against your 650. When they scoff at the idea you can beat them up about how they are scared that they'll loose to a bike with half the engine. If you end up loosing the race, your expected to because you have half the engine. Pick a windy course and you'll win those guys can't ride unless it's straight anyway.

Sorry in advance but I need to vent and hope you guys will understand! I'm sick and tired of all of the Harley Davidson owners that think and act like they are better than the people who own and ride Metric bikes. I have two guys here at work that are relentless at being jerks. They have gone as far as to tell me I can't park my bike (650 nighthawk or my 1800 vtx) at work because this is an american plant and they don't want any "junk" in the lot. Let me tell you, my VTX will blow their Harleys away any day. Sorry, I just had to vent. Thanks for allowing me the forum to do it.
