....they're fast.

Was out for a little ride on Saturday and came up to one at a light. I gave the guy in the pastel colored snowmobile suit a wave whilst I gave a little laugh in my throat. The light changed and off we went. For a moment I wondered if perhaps my bike was dragging an anchor or something considering how fast he pulled away in second and third gear. Holy Crap!

Is this the norm or was this guy hiding something wicked beneath the plastic shell?

 

Yeah, the 1800's will outrun a Lamborghini Diablo in the 1/4 mile. (Believe it or not)

 

Same thing happened to me also. I wasn't snickering at the guy though. Light changed and he vanished.

 

Yeah them ding's is fast. You got [sm=owned.gif]

 

Oh I believe it. I made the first exit as if I had intended to turn anyway to save some dignity. I couldn't believe it. They look like they weigh 1000 or more without rider.

 

It's a 6-cyl. in those barges. Fast, sure, but still verrrrry heavy.

And they cannot touch my Outlaw, if I really cared.

 

The guy down the block from me is ticked off. He has a TC88 RK and a 1500cc Goldwing.
When I brought home my 07 Custom he got upset that its 96ci (1584cc) engine was bigger than his GW's.
Not sure if mine is quicker, but I'm sure it would give a good him a good run.

 

It is a widely known fact to me (a former japanese bike rider) that most japanese bikes that I have owned will outrun my tc88 harley. I didn't buy my bike for speed, but rather to cruise. When I pull up to a light next to someone, it is not about who's faster anymore. I always let the other bike go, unless it is a sportster.[sm=biker.gif] Them goldwings bring to mind the Valkyrie, which I'm sure is quite fast as well. This thread makes me chuckle as whoever didn't know how fast a goldwing was, jsut realized there is a good reason people buy jap bikes...

 

4 more cyls and over 200 cc bigger motor. should be no surprise

 

Member the 903? I think a Z-1? Couple my buddies had those Kaws in the 70's One of their first 4 strokes,they'd do 11 sec flat right out a the box.
