unfortunately, not street legal
"even though it can't be street registered"

so fastest production bike is a bit of a stretch.
Still neat though

I gotta jump in on this! Yeah it's fast. It's water cooled. It's got overhead cams. It's designed by porsche. It's based on a Harley that I hear alot of picking on about not being a "real" Harley. But..... It's fast so now people like it! C'mon guys! In actuality it's not much faster (if any - don't know exact 1/4 mile times) than an R1. That's a Yamaha folks. One that can be bought new for less than 12k. Couple years old for 6k. Perfectly street legal. Hey, I'm all for the bike, and the VROD also, just love the twofaced attitudes! Still don't like the Revolution and liquid cooling? I do.

You could have paid 26k when they first came out, and if your good run in the 9's only on the track. Or buy a stock Hyabusa, paid 13k and if your good run in the 9's on the track or the street. The destroyer was wayyyyyyyyyyyy overpriced.,,

Default Thundermug....

You asked which oil they put in it. I have it on good authority that they use that slippery kind. It's light brown in color and comes in a plastic bottle.
