harley XR1200 series laptimes

[13]

So I have a coworker claiming that the ama xr1200 series bikes are doing laptimes comparable to dsb and sbk, I only have my phone at work right now and searching for laptimes is a PITA. Does anyone know how they compare, or whrer I can find it? This harley nut is getting on my nerves.

"Sportbikes can't corner. They are too light and just fly off the corner while Harleys stick to the pavement. "

-explanation from my old boss as to why Harleys were so fast. He was an engineer too. Ugh.

Tell him to put the crack pipe down.

Or take it out of his ass.

The highway pegs that allow them to lean it over further, coupled with the lightweight straight pipes which provide robust torque allows them to be the badass of any class in the world.

Thanks! You guys are the best!

In other words, the first-place Harley rider would be lapped every 12 laps.....

Average speed per lap is 75.6mph compared to 82mph for the DSB.

So, I told him about the laptimes and how they'd probably not keep up with a modersn 600 or 1000. He responded, "It's only their first year. They'll catch up, they're 1200's!".

You should explain to him that the technology in those 1200s that will "catch up" is probably older than he is. And, from the sounds of things, almost as intelligent.

Tell him your old 650 Hawk can beat a 1200 Harley.

What does he drive for a cage - a garden tractor?

If ya don't know, then ya just don't... fuckin... know.

<- within 5 sec/lap of winning HD 1200 on my itty bitty ess vee six fiddy.



Lets compare two different 1200cc v-twin engines... Roughly same displacement, same basic engine layout...

HD XR1200R... Harley's premier twin cylinder roadracing bike...


Ducati 1198... Ducati's premier twin cylinder roadracing bike...

[Kurlon]

That second one isn't on a Superflow and is inflated as a result...

[OreoGaborio]

Inflated by 80hp? Gimme a fuckin break, dude

[OreoGaborio]

Happy?

[Kurlon]

Crap, forgot my sarcasm tags when I made that post. Heh.

[butcher bergs]

Let's see, they're fat and down about 90 horse. Oh hell yeah, they'll catch up alright.....

I don't watch but how is the 1200 racing? Exciting?

A different example: the Suzuki V-Strom DL1000 twin, which has been detuned for a flatter torque curve for off-road use. Absolutely completely stock, they're around 95hp on most dynos. An SV1000 is well over 100.

As it happens I loved the look of the XR1200 so I wnet and took one for test ride.. It reminded me of why the Honda 750 was dominate Street bike of the 70's .. What a Snooze the XR. When I returned it, I asked the Tech putting the bike away what the Horse Power was. His response was Way more than any of the other Sportsters,, I couldn't help but thhink you ight want to keep that information to your self.

It looks like a hoot to be honest. They look like big heavy tards sliding around out there. And I bet it sounds great live.
