Ouch you called me a moron. hahahahaha whats wrong you just can't convince anyone your bike is as great as you think it is? I guess maybe if you hadn't jumped in here acting like this you wouldn't be getting so upset.
A regular can always do one thing sitting still that a regular Japanese bike does not do.
Attract attention. (particularly of the ladies)
It is no different than the kid with the 4.5 sec. souped up honda vs the owner of a factory [insert name of sports car here porshe/corvette/ferrari/lotus]
NOBODY travels faster than perception.
I bet his "son" is....:)
Amazing. Simply amazing.
Why would you need to plant your front wheel against a wall to do that? Mine usually does it just about anytime I want it to. It's called horsepower.
"NOBODY travels faster than perception."
Tagline material.
Actually, liquid cooling on bikes has a history that goes back at least 50 years, possibly longer, although it didn't become common until the Japanese started using it, as you said.
And I guarantee you I know way more about Harley-type bikes than you do about Japanese bikes.
At full throttle most of those big cubic-inch v-twins would overheat in less than a minute. Of course, the GSXR1000 couldn't run at its HP peak forever either, without overheating, but it could run near it all day.
oops typo, "A regular Harley...."
**By definition if 3000 rpm is your torque peak then that is with the throttle wide open. I've never seen a dyno run done with partial throttle, at least not for purpose of measuring HP and Torque peak numbers.**
You are so far out of your league at this point it is pointless. How did you come to the conclusion that you have to reach your torque peak or hp peak with the throttle is wide open? Do you even understand how they are produced?
**OK, some might (might!) be able to beat a 600 supersport in a drag race. None of them could touch a 1000 supersport in a drag race, certainly.**
I could and I would do it with a less than 100ci motor. In fact I have a 77shovelhead sitting at my shop that I would be willing to be would beat out the 1000supersport. I will admit though I turned the 4speed tranny into a 5speed by taking the tranny out of an old gpz and machining them to work in the 4speed. It's also naturally aspirated. Hell it's one of the worst motors designed by Harley and it has been getting raced for about 20years now. Again I don't think you really know what you are talking about, which is no problem but you spend a lot of time badmouthing the Harleys where it's obvious from your posts you know every little if anything about how a motor actually works and produces power.
He's Canadian. ALL bikes are imports to him.
I haven't even mentioned what kind of bike I have. You would undoubtedly call it a plastic-covered rice rocket, or crotch rocket, or some such, since you Harley types seem to feel the need to label everything Japanese with some dismissive label. Maybe you're the insecure ones.
And you're the one claiming that Harleys (and similar) are the end-all and be-all of motorcycling, but when it comes to performance they excel in only narrow categories.
I don't need a fancy toy to get the ladies' attention.
I bought a motorcycle, not a lifestyle accessory.
**Actually, liquid cooling on bikes has a history that goes back at least 50 years, possibly longer, although it didn't become common until the Japanese started using it, as you said.**
Yup thats because I am pretty much always right. I don't argue about things I don't know about. Just a little advice.
**And I guarantee you I know way more about Harley-type bikes than you do about Japanese bikes. **
hahahahahaha, yea I can tell by your posts. hahahahahahaha
**At full throttle most of those big cubic-inch v-twins would overheat in less than a minute. Of course, the GSXR1000 couldn't run at its HP peak forever either, without overheating, but it could run near it all day.**
You go from telling me you know more about Harleys than I do then you post this?????? Oh good lord I am just shaking my head and chuckling.
"I could and I would do it with a less than 100ci motor. In fact I have a 77shovelhead sitting at my shop that I would be willing to be would beat out the 1000supersport"
Whoooh my GOD! You have compltetely lost your mind! A 100ci V-Twin against a 386lb 1000cc? What are you smoking?. The next time you try that race, I want to know so I can place my bets.
" could and I would do it with a less than 100ci motor. In fact I have a 77shovelhead sitting at my shop that I would be willing to be would beat out the 1000supersport."
OK, stop talking trash and talk numbers. What kind of 1/4 mile time can it lay down? Although now you're talking about purpose-built drag bikes, so I guess I should be able to compare it to Japanese bikes with streched swing arms and other drag strip optimizations.
I think you're full of it, just like most Harley types whose sense of the performance of their bikes seems to be purely based in fantasy.
"A regular can always do one thing sitting still that a regular Japanese bike does not do.

Exactly. That said it all right there. that is the reason people buy these chrome plated combines.
No I said less than 100ci. In fact if you had been paying attention I mentioned a shovelhead which is much smaller than 100ci. My 96s&s will smoke it too though.
"{I don't argue about things I don't know about."
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
You see, I can make pointless comments with lots of "HA HA HA HA HA", too.
"How did you come to the conclusion that you have to reach your torque peak or hp peak with the throttle is wide open? Do you even understand how they are produced?"
Do you? No, really. I've never seen a HP run done on a dyno at anything other than wide-open throttle, nor have I ever heard of any gasoline-buring IC engine that makes its HP peak at anything other than wide open throttle.
Nope not a purpose built drag bike at all. On bad pavement two weeks ago it rolled in the low 9's. You can think I am full of it your posts already showed you have no idea what you are talking about, so if this makes you feel better knock yourself out.
good for you.
that is YOUR perception.
