Just wondering what would be faster an 07 road king or an 05 1200 xl sportster thanks

 

if both stock ide say the sprst off the line,then rk would pass in around ooh 1/8 mile? just a thought . i need to know this now[:@]

 

I would say the sportster would be faster fo the first few miles. After 300 miles the Road King would probably have about a 150 mile lead... so I guess it depends on how far you are going.

 

Sportster will spank your butt, then let off and wait for you to catch up.

 

ive had both an 07 rk and an 05 1200xl sporty. the sporty is faster off the line obviously. it might even be faster in the top end too, but 75 mph on the sporty feels like youre strapped to the wing of the space shuttle. the road king on the other hand is only cruising at 75mph. i feel like i could fall asleep on the rk as where there would be pucker marks on the sporty seat when i got off of it. two totally different bikes. both are fun in their own ways.

 

rk for racing? no... this is luxury. Mine's not going to race. especially against a bike that cost half the price

I have an 05 1200 custom and a 07 roadking. With riding both back and forth I think the Road king will take it hands up from the start. Even with the stage 1's done on both.

 

give me a Visa card and tell me what one you want to be the fastest and I will build it -

 

If I wanted speed, I would have bought a vette. lol I will take my rk custom every day over the sportster. But like my buddy who had a sporty said, ' it's (sporty) like sitting on an engine. Purely for speed'...Just not for me. At 350 lbs, it would look like a gorilla on a tricycle.
