If you look at all the comments on the Honda / Kawasaki vs Harley on youtube, they say that you are racing two different animals, cruisers vs racers. Here is a straight up race between a Honda VTX 1800 cruiser vs Harley FXDX 1550 cruiser. The Honda wins. The Vrod is not a cruiser, but a racer engine and a 4 stroke. Just saying.

Thanks for all of the stories and commiseration! My biggest issue is that I just started working here after being unemployed for two years, so I'm a little pensive about giving it back to them (especially since one of the jerks is a manager over me).

However, if he's scared of the throttle - he might not be being aggressive enough off the line and costing him the race. Also, if he doesn't know his shift points, that will seriously affect his ability to beat someone in a race. My 450 used to be able to walk all over my Dad's Harley, but that was a full dress touring bike vs a small lightweight bike. I had him up until we got to speed. What I've noticed is that when I ride with torque heavy engines - usually V-twin cruisers - they have the advantage of midrange roll on throttle response, where the inline engines need to be downshifted in order to get the power. I find it very annoying to ride with a group of V-twins for that reason. -Joey On Wed, May 16, 2012 at 9:34 PM, Allen Thomas <[email protected]> wrote: > +1 scared of the throttle. > Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T > ________________________________ > From: Javier Garcia <[email protected]> > Sender: [email protected] > Date: Wed, 16 May 2012 21:22:17 -0400 > To: <[email protected]> > ReplyTo: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Sick and tired! > > The guy on the cbr is either a pussy or letting him win... so, a pussy. > J. > > On Wed, May 16, 2012 at 9:12 PM, Pastor Ron <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Can this be real? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjFeC7g6_40 >> >> Ron >> >> ________________________________ >> >> From: [email protected] >> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Allen Thomas >> Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2012 7:12 PM >> To: Nightwawk Lovers >> Subject: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Sick and tired! >> >> >> >> 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.
