Got to love the sound of a Harley though. A Yamaha is wing-yang-yang-yang, Sounds like pure shit. A Harley on the other hand is a deep nice sounding tone. BTW Harleys aren't built for speed in any form or fashion Harley Davidson supporters, Harleys are made for a good long sunday drive, Yamaha is made for 1Annoying neighbors 2 Looking nice 3 Go fast

@14omega28ok nah i even think the harley sounds like shit to. Like a fart bike. And the XJ750 is REALLY quiet when cruising around. Most people don't hear anything compared to the obnoxious loud aftermarket pipes on a harley.

@g0stere0 Bullshit! Even with The Yammie's crappy reaction time (.548 vs .285), he still took you. Last time I checked, a 13.52 is faster than a 13.68. He would have beat you silly if he launched better.

@shegotlockjaw What the hell are you talking about? The H-D launched as hard as he could without blowing away the tire, but the Yammie was in a bog for 2 seconds. Stop making excuses for slow-ass Harleys.

For those who don't know who won, you can see the RT/ET board in HD full screen.

Hells yeah, I'm showing this to my friend. I have an 82 Maxim XJ750, and he has a 07 Sportster XL1200!

[shegotlockjaw]

looked like the harley had a bad start to...jumped then stuttered then went...

[seafood360]

are you blind????

[mytujuan]

Go Maxim, Go

[mandaltby]

The race was close, those Jap bikes are fast. The faster Harleys are the Sportsters

[EpiDemic117]

@mandaltby the sportsters are LONG in due for a real upgrade. They should just put a downtuned Vrod engine in it with DOHC, Dual pin crank, and a liquid cooled engine.

Who won the race?

[g0stere0]

my bad, this is actually me and my buddy racing. both bikes were within like a tenth of a second. The harley took the races I forget the exact times but we both ran low 13's for the day. I think we topped out at 97mph for the day.

[trippyhatesu]

y is it in all these drag race vids no one ever tells u who won?

[wademeister1124]

@trippyhatesu There's another video of the same exact race posted by someone farther down the track. The Maxim ran a 13.566 and the Harley ran 13.675. Long live Maxim!
