One for the Harley Guys

400+ ponies is nothing to sneeze at, in fact that's on par with a brand new Mustang GT, at a fraction of the weight, this harley will get it in the straights if you can keep the back tire from liquefying in the process.

I am highly skeptical this bike makes even 200 hp. With an outrageous claim like 400 hp you'd think they would include the dyno slip in the video like oh idk....EVERY OTHER DYNO VIDEO.

Slips or it didn't happen.

 

i concur with your skepticism...

I've watched it a couple times... Where is the nitrous? Is it dry or wet? I can't hear a turbo...

You can see what appears to be an intercooler. But yea for a bike claiming that much horsepower there gonna be turbo lag and defiently hear it spool.

Let's assume for just a minute that the 404hp figure is real. Take that for granted. Like I said in my first post, it's an impressive number, but the number doesn't mean anything unless you're having a dyno competition, or comparing it directly to another bike that is the same make and model (i.e. same weight, gearing, and other handling characteristics).

 

Look at a car like the Aerial Atom.  "low" horsepower, but HUGE performance.  It embarrasses cars with twice or three times the horsepower.  I imagine a 400hp cruiser (regardless of manufacturer) can probably easily be out-performed by a stock FZ6, or other comparable bike with less power, but also less weight.  The cruiser will have a torque advantage, but I bet it still takes 11+ seconds to make a quarter mile pass.

 

I really try not to bash cruisers, but I do think it's silly to try to turn them into something they're not.  If you want to cruise, cruise!  Why try to turn a Winnebago into a dragster?

it appears to have been built specifically for a dyno drag competition. If it actually is what it's claimed to be, it's not a harley any more than a Boss Hoss is a harley. Build claims aftermarket (S&S) engine not a harley, and aftermarket transmission. it's also allegedly chain drive... So interesting (if true) but not a harley.
