There are some Harleys that run good "for a Harley" I put together a few baggers that will out run a Vrod with no problem. Some of these Harleys run very strong but won't beat a newer 600 in the quarter-mile with a good rider. There are always guys here in my garage screwing around betting money on who's bike is faster in drag.......and some of these Harley's I didn't put together, so yes it fun watching or hearing about races and some of these bike have big dollars in the motors, but like I said about the only thing your going to out run is another Harley. Yes, there are some 9-10 sec Harley's out there but there are not a everyday cruiser or bikes that you can ride very far and most likely don't run on shit pump gas......
