Yes, and they make the most hevenly noise doing it. It's a religious experience hearing a pair of Destroyers head down the track. Even a Destroyer and a Buell sound great together.

I think he's screaming for attention "oh yeah well I got a hayabusa"...dude the thread was who'd win the vrod or the night train? not who'd win me or you?

vrod, niterod whatever it still beats the night train...as for the hayabusa vs. night rod well what's the point gearing is different bone stock go try out the destroyer...

Don't worry about us. Most V-rodders know how to deal with sport bike snobs. We launch as hard as the pavement will allow. Any sport biker that tries to stay with us us goes over backwards. It really is hilarious.
That's why I say I'll race to the 60' mark. The Busa may get there, sans rider.

I raced a vrod with my stage 1 softail on a drag strip and lost by about 4 seconds in the 1/4 mile. I took him off the line every time but man those vrods pull quick.
