Default Harley Sportster versus Hayabusa

No surprises, but a pretty quick Sportster nontheless. A stock Sportster is what, 13.5 sec 1/4 mile?

Yeah, the difference doesn't seem that large. The Sportster is really quick.

It's the angle that makes it look that way. The Sportster crosses the finish line 2 sec after the Hayabusa. The Sportster probably has an average speed of about 110mph in those 2 sec. This means that it traveled 106 yards during those 2 sec. So when the Hayabusa crosses the finish line the Sportster is 106 yards, or 320ft behind. Also, the trap speeds show that by the finish line the Hayabusa was pulling 50ft per second on the Sportster.

Just a little analysis.

My neighbor raced his busa, low 8's. I rode it before he tricked it out. Damn thing wouldn't turn,just wants to go straight.Worthless in my opinion.By the way he sold it and bought a wideglide and loves it.

Scroll down the video page and read the comments from the older rider.

What was the point? There is no Harley made that could beat a Hayabusa. And that includes the Destroyer.
