Any of you guys ever race a Motorcycle??
Driving the car today this guy on a Harley kept messing with me. He would speed up and then slow down and get right beside me over and over. SOB would also put it in netural and get on the gas (da** that sh** was loud).. To much traffic, so I wasn't going to risk it. I was wondering if any of you guys ever raced a Motorcycle. If so what kind??

My friend's ninja 500r, luckily he was a very new rider and I was able to keep level with him up to the next light.
Now he would probably put the hurt on me, but at the time, it was a solid victory for my ego haha.
I don't know much about those harleys, but I dislike their styling personally. And whether or not they are fast, they sure do make a lot of noise.

+1 on the v rod they are pretty quick but I played around with one 2 days ago gxr 600 or 750 dropped stretched and at least piped 60 roll I jumped out a bike length then he pulled back and put a little over a bike on me..... we slowed down and he said not too bad for a 5th gear pull lol oh well it was fun tho!

Ran my friend's Warrior 1800 with my tuned TBSS. Mid 12 second bike, but its all low end. Doesnt have much top end, not compared to a street bike anyway.

yeah harleys are not very fast and i wouldn't worry about any with your car. I ran a '04 cbr600rr with my old '95 on spray and with my '00. the '95 was a 60ish roll starting in 4th gear due to traction, he'd get the jump and put about a car length on me, then by 150mph I had 1 car back on top of him, would have been a whole different game if i could start in 3rd. then did a dig with the same bike with my black car, launched on spray and got a car or so on him off the launch but he quickly reeled me in lol.

Did a quick search and it seems like V-Rods run low 12's/high 11's stock, pretty quick. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't most other stock Harley's around the 13 second range? I should try to line my car up with my dads Harley, it's a 99 Fat Boy.
