Oh, oh, everytime i ride my Harley Davidson, I get a good feeling, yeah – I get a feeling that I never never never never had before, no no I get a good feeling, yeah
The destruction is horsepower to money ratio.Yes, be barely red lighted,but still, for a 40k harley, he should've ate that kawi alive and gave him 2 bike length. Vrod is from harleys failed sportbike program in the 90's, the vr1000.thats why you have to dump 40k into it to get it to run w todays technology. Harley stands for outdated expensive bikes for fools
for sure wouldn't bring my bike your shop..... a bike twice the weight of the kawa with that speed is impressive besides the V has the time on the track with a decent rider........not a good way to promote your BIDNESS lol
Still trying to figure out where the destruction is. The Kawa redlights and they cross the line pretty much side by side. The kawa rider waves to some one behind him? the Deystroyer Wasn't behind him, the kawa rider is lucky he didn't dump it playing around like that.
Yeah, a horrible red light at that. Way to promote a business with a loss! Also find it hard to believe that a performance oriented company is promoting themselves with a video of a daily driver with stock engine. Probably hopped to the nuts with a shot of spray. Must of been embarrising to relize he lost after he waved. Dumbass!
@HAMBONE58H don't worry, have you seen EBR's 1190 RS? Buell not only got his revenge, but he built a machine that can best any contemporary European or Japanese racebike.
Last I checked the V-Rod engine was designed by Porsche in Germany and current BUELLs use a motor licensed from Rotax in Austria. What was I supposed to read again?
@SeanKAlexander The vrod originated from the vr1000, which was harleys FAILED sport bike program. It didn't work in the 90,s. Thats why you have to dump 40k in it to keep up w todays technolgy.Horse power to money ratio is the point people
haha i have an 08 gsxr 750 and i will never put it up against a vrod in a dragrace yea it would be close but those v rods have torque. they are awesome my buddy has one. note cyclespecialties dont put a video up here saying the zx10 beat a vrod when he red lit and didnt destroy him even with the red light its bad for business.
i saw a red light on the Kaw. use a zoom feature you can tell even with a redline jump the hd and kaw were not even close. Hd had control from the stage light to finish.
@surrynet The V-rod destroyer has more engine displacement by more than 250cc's more horse power as well. It is a factory drag bike that cost $32,000... For a bike that cost more than double of the ZX10. It should destroy any street bike... Harley has mislead the consumer by naming this V-rod the destroyer. This proves even with the help of Porshe Harley can fuck up a bike and make it slow for the money spent!!!
@dobypaw The Destroyer is fastest in the 2 cylinder street bikes, not 4 cylinders. Also 4cylinders rev up alot faster than 2 cylinders. Putting the Destroyer against a Busa or ZX10 would be like putting the fastest jap car against the ZR1 Vette, 2 cylinders against 4, the vette 8 clinders against jap cars 6 cylinders . PLUS the ZX10/Busa weigh far less. I'll agree with you, if I want speed I'd get a ZX10 or Busa. Both bike are good in their own rights Also any Harley will hold value better.
@surrynet Did you know Ducati has built a power cruiser? It is called the Diavel It has the 1198 v-twin superbike motor 180 hp and a curb weight under 500 pounds but is geared much lower. 1/4 mile times not far off the destroyer at about half the money. The year of your friends S3 is probably a 1998 to 2001 model year.
Put the 8 cylinder 7 liter ZR1 up against a 3.8 liter Porsche 6 cylinder and the Mighty Vette will not walk away. It has to do with technology and airlfow. Harley's have neither.
@ReligionisaCult BULLSHIT, You don't know shit about cars, damn, where did you go to school and how far did you go. There is only one porshe that will give the Vette a run for it's money, that a Carrera GT, But you are talking about a car that costs almost $200,000.00, The $60,000.00 Vette does a pretty damn good job. Like I said before, Harleys main purpose of the Destroyer is to go against other V Twins, not 4 cylinders.
@surrynet For $60k you will get a 430hp car, that's not going to beat many cars on the block, if you are talking about ZR1, you better cough up $105k, and 911 Turbo S will beat it 0-60/ 1/4mile (ZR1 should take it at 120mph+ though), but on track they are not really that different. You get the 911 T-S for ~$160k. I guess you are either misinformed, or just guessing here ... But I guess u did not go to school at all? GT is no longer in sale, but I guess you mean 911 GT2 RS, which is $245k
@goguhu Hey idiot, I didn't say the ZR1 would beat many cars, The post that mention the ZR1 was the post about putting a busa up against a harley. I said it would be like putting The ZR1 against a jap car. As far as school how the hell do you know how far a person went. And the Carrera GT is still available. YOU just don't have enough money for one, nor Do I. Dip shit you are talking a turbo against normally asperated, do you know what normally asperated means?.
@surrynet Carrera GT isn't available anymore. Porsche only built 1270 between 2004-2006 and all have been sold. Those that are available in the second hand market are worth more than they did when they were new.
@goguhu Another thing dipshit, the 911 Turbo is all wheel drive, lets see drag slicks on the vette to make up for not having all wheel drive like the 911. The vette will smoke the 911 with ease.
@dobypaw My friend also has a Buell, he has an S3 Thunderbolt. He's got it up for sale, It has around 4500 miles. I think he wants $5500.00 for it. I don't know what year it is though.
That was a joke. First of all he only "waved bye bye" to the Harley because he red lighted (thus losing). Secondly the Kawasaki just barely stays ahead of the Harley even with the red lighting. Booo. V-rod rider could have just done 15mph to the finish line and still won. Kawasaki rider was to afraid of losing. Hahaha... Let's make this clear I am a lover of all motorcycles and am definitely not biased. I have owned two GSXR's, a yellow and black one, and a blue and white one currently, while
you are comparing apples to oranges first of all the kawi is not stock and did red light, also did not "destroy" the vrod and v rod is set up for 1/4 mile and is a factory bike and is closer to 30k than 40k the kawi is a inline 4 vs vtwin and if you "tuned" the vrod as much as u did the kawi it would flat out smoke the kawi, you can youtube other vids and find out the vrod runs in high 9's right off the trailer and a "stock" kawi zx-10 does not come close
@1danandy I have NEVER seen a stock v rod do a high 9..Ever. Harley will laugh at you and say right, but gladly sell you one. How do you do high 9 with 115 bhp? Anyone will tell you that a kawi will do 9's STOCK with a good rider and has 165 bhp STOCK before exhaust and tune. And I would put money that the motor on the Kawi is stock.
@badbanshee370 Except a vrod destroyer is NOT a stock vrod, it is a factory DRAG bike, look it up cuz the last vrod destroyer i dyno"d made 163 hp combine that with a electric shift an 530lb weight and ran 9.89 :-O
@1danandy sorry to say 9.89 is slow for a factory built drag bike. Hell a company that is never known for drag racing, BMW's new liter bike the 1000rr stock run 9.7's all day for only $15,800... If i was going to spend $31.249 for a drag bike I want it to run high 7's to low 8's... High 9's and $31,249 is a waste of money.
@Sideler74 Good to see you know me... Before I got into riding Buell's, 10 years ago I owned and raced a ZRX1200R with a muzzy stage three kit, lowered, stretched, air shift, +4 degree ignition advancer, geared 1 down 3 up, DOT racing slick and a little weight reduction. The bike put 170 HP to the tire weighed 464 pounds ready to race. Ran a best 8.86 @ 156mph. A .8 second faster bike will not put me out of my league.
@1danandy@1danandy YES! The destroyer is a VERY nice bike..I would love to own one. Harley got that one right. But with all due respect, the new kawi 1000 will still best the destroyers 1/4 stock for a lot cheaper. But only a couple of 10ths. Even more when you tune it and take the emissions of and the gov restriction. The kawi weighs about 100 lbs less and comes with traction control. But the v rod def has a style all it's own and is very respectable machine. 9.89 is very kick ass.
The kawi lost on a technicality. But the Harley was still out powered by the Kawi. You see it EVERYDAY. Some poor schmuck dumping loads of cash into a cruiser and trying to race a stock engine sport bike. I doubt the harley pride let him let off the throttle just buy a few bike lengths. If the kawi woulda got the green light..He still would've won.. and for less money. I'm sure he won on the rematch over and over again.
@frenchy32401 Nothing personal yes Kawi did red flag but HD did not let off he stayed in it until the end. I drag race & most of the time you can't see if the other guy/girl jumped the gun. You pay attention to the light sequence & do your thing. Only in the end you know what's up. That said there are obvious facts when the other guy/girl moves or leaves the line while you are staged & you can see that clearly. This how ever was not the story. HD stayed in it all the way Kawi was faster.
Harley riders roll while sportbikers ride- They grip the bars tight in fear of falling over- While we lean from side to side- They get mad cause they cant wheelie - and wont throw a peace as they pass by- Thats ok cause they walk while we fly- and dont get me wrong I dont hate the growl of the twin- but the howl of the inline four sounds soo good it makes me wanna sin- Beating lambos on the regular at a fraction of the price allows for more green to spend on the rice XD
@manjunk427 This was painfully homosexual. A Harley can wheelie. We fall far less than rice riders, as well. The obnoxious noise most rice bikes make is simply irritating. So is a big twin if it doesn't have a rumble. The fastest bikes in the world are big twins. My Harley makes 110lb/ft at 3k rpms. A Busa makes something like 60 at 10k.
@wvXvxvXvw False and homosexual. The '08 Busa makes about 90lb/ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. There is no replacement for displacement. The only reason Ducati (sexy) wins so much is because they are allowed a cc advantage, as twins inherently make less power than an equal sized inline four, but slightly more torque. That's besides the point though. Harleys are glorified pieces of shit. You pay for the name and the "image." In the end, a polished turd is still a turd.
@badbanshee370 I know that. I decided not to include it in my post because it would be a waste of time, since it's obvious he knew it too, if you took the time to read his comment. That's beside the point.
@iZenSoda My Harley is more advanced than a Busa. Fuel injected, twin cam, high end and bullet proof 6 speed, more power. My Harley won't outrun one, but you are a complete idiot in attempting to claim they are behind in technology. You probably still ride some rice piece of shit with a carb.
@wvXvxvXvw Let me put this in simple terms for you, assuming you're talking about a V-Rod, as you never even specified what bike you have. The V-Rod is very advanced (German engineering), and it's Harleys dedicated drag bike. It is a very good bike for what it does. Even so, the Hayabusa is more powerful, faster, and costs less all while being a street touring bike. The Busa is fugly though, unlike the V-Rod. But it's still faster. Period. Have a nice day. I own a modest 09 Ninja 650r, btw.
@wvXvxvXvw Ha ha WTF.. Harley still uses PUSH RODS, TWO VALVE heads and AIR COOLED ENGINES, and SINGLE PIN CRANKS. Thats way behind. And how much will they charge you for that? Yes, the v rod is a nice bike, but derives from the vr 1000 which was their FAILED sport bike in the 90's. It's 90's technology..But a very nice respectable bike. Ha ha.. but funny carb joke.. V rod is one of my fav bikes by the way.
@badbanshee370 Hey, you're absolutely right about most Harley's being push-rod, air-cooled, etc. I was just curious if you knew the v-rod was double over head cam and liquid cooled. It was developed jointly with Porsche (cool eh?). I apologize if your comment was more in line with a previous post. I admit I didn't read very far down the list. Also, I'll admit no matter how cool the V-Rod (I prefer the night rod) is it won't touch a Japanese bike.
@rcktpilot Actually I am a huge fan of the Vrod.Luv the bike.but it's not more advanced that the New busa motor. HP and performance = advanced. Proof is in the numbers. I am also a huge fan of the night rod. The vrod is a great engine. It derived from the vr1000 in the 90's..Which was Harleys attempted sport bike program. I also love the looks of a vrod. I wish Harley people would really see that that bike is the future of Harley as was full of fresh ideas. It really is in a class all it's own.
@badbanshee370 the vrods engine was derived from the vr1000- but do you know who helped design the vr1000?? Buell- and when high time came to make the vrod engine, eric thought 'yes now i can make a sportbike with this engine' problem was that the vrods engine is 60lbs heavier than eric wanted.
@badbanshee370 Mine made 95 stock, 110 now(tuned with bolt ons). At 3k. The Busa makes 93-99(I was wrong, but the new Harley does in fact make more torque) at 7k. The fact is new fuel injected twin cam HDs do make more torque. Doesn't make them faster, the big Harleys are 7-800lbs. But it is still impressive. Its the reason Harley absolutely obliterate the rice bikes in NHRA drag events.
@wvXvxvXvw Sir that is def good numbers anyway you look at it and is not your average Harley. I respect numbers. But again how many cc is your bike? Busa is 1340. A stock 1340 hd makes 50 bhp and 50 lbs/ft.So they don't compare.busa makes more torque. If you put your cc and money into that busa..End of story. As for NHRA, I'm talking about something the average man can buy at a dealer. NHRA has motors that are not harley and have grease packed bottom ends.
And what stock Harley was this? The 1580 only made 70 ponies and 70 lbs of torque.. You could get the 110 cubic in with the screaming eagle kit but was an arm and a leg and isn't considered STOCK.
@badbanshee370 i think you are missing the point with the use of the word stock as it relates to vehicle manufacturers...anything that the factory produces...that can be bought through a dealership from the manufacturer is considered stock...maybe this is where your argument should lie....
@wvXvxvXvw If I brought a 1340 cc busa to the dealers and said I wan't a equal displacement kit as the 110 ci screaming eagle and wanted to go to 1800 cc on the busa and lined it up with any 1800cc harley.. Harley wouldn't stand a chance and it would make double the torque as a harley. the 110 ci motor is already 460 more cc and barely out torques it STOCK for a fraction of the price, and they are designed for that hp out the box.
The V-Rod won.... How the fuck can this retarded shop claim otherwise? Yeah, I'm gonna red light my Street Bob against a nitro drag bike in the 1/8th(which is a shitty length anyways) and still get the win. Dumbasses. I hope the fucktards realize they just screwed themselves out of a lot of business.
haha a tenth of a second doesnt matter??? hahaha yeah ok thats why he was redlighted you fucking moron cuz guess what??? IT DOES FUCKING MATTER this is real drag racing not fucking fast and the faggots.
Im pretty sure this is at Shady side. I think I raced a solid white turbo busa on my blackbird. O, the busa ate my $#it up just in case u were wandering.
When you red light you usually get there first if the bikes are close. The Kawi lost automatically and the Victory wasn't far behind. This video FAILS.
they both rode hard he didnt know the other guy red lighted cause you cant tell till the end of the run. they were both balls to the wall so the kawi. still won the race a tenth of a second dont matter.
boxmonkey and dobypaw I think you guys need to get a room and finish your love spat there...But I must say if you are good enough racer you do not need a shift light. I have a ZXR1200R with a Muzzy stage three kit the rest of the bike is completely stock except for lowering it when I race and I do not use a shift light. and ran a best of 9.72 @ 149mph. I must say the destroyer did not take it east on this run. But when you own a $40,000 drag bike no jap crap should be close you you. Waste of $
@3psu I just have to say one thing about the destroyer in general. for 40k it is crap. just ride what you like to ride. IF you come in bragging about beating someone when you redlighted then I lose respect for that person/shop. if they were to have a rematch and the out come was the same then cool. as it should the zx-10 should be faster. but that bike wasn't meant for drag racing. put that thing on some twisties already.
Only problem is the Kawi red lighted. Looks like he lost to me. You can't cheat by taking a half second head start then claim you won after you get disqualified.
I would really like to see the weight difference between the bikes- Stock zx-10 s dont have extended swing arms -he jumped the light and barely sneaks by-thats not spanking anything hahaha All the mods on the kaw are bolt ons I wouldnt brag on that
Stock my ass!!!! ,,,, and the zx10 lost(nice red light,,, did the rider really think he needed to jump the Harley????))),,,,, that inline 4 is suppose to spank that harley,,,,
@dobypaw do you know anything about drag racing? the kawk lost. a red light isn't a good thing and considering the kawk had a head start it looked like a close race. lets see a good race. both leave on green.
@boxmonkeyracing If you listen to each bike taking off the Kawi's red light and head start was minimal...If they both left on green the Kawi would have still cross the line first and in front of a factory built drag bike. That is the point here a dude with a lowered, stretched stock motor zx10 is faster than a factory race bike. The dude had time to look back and wave to him and that was only an 1/8 mile where the v-twin excels.
@dobypaw do you race? sure as hell doesn't sound like it. sounds to me you are defending a bad pass with excuses. but I'll play your excuse game. being that I have made quite a few passes and know when I have noticed the other lane had redlighted I don't push the bike/car as hard as I would if it was a good pass. besides it's a .2-.5 sec jump. good enough jump to be in the powerband before the other bike is off the line.
@boxmonkeyracing .2 to .5 is just a tick faster than a blink of an eye. You can not tell if he jumped if you were on the other bike because you are looking at your lights and not the other rider or his lights. Yes I use to race a ZRX1200R a 10 second bike. I never payed attention to the other rider. I always ran hard every pass unless the other rider could not make the call. If you took it easy because you think the other guy red lighted your not a true racer.
@dobypaw I guess you forgot about the big end lights. Like this video has. a big fat W in the left lane. if you are focusing on the launch and lights then you won't see a red light but after you're out of the hole and headed down the track you can usually see a light. once seeing said light at the big end, the only reason to keep pushing your bike is practice or being a dumbass. if this is a competition race you're a dumb ass. test N tune it's practice.
@boxmonkeyracing I know there are lights on the timing board. Myself and many riders including the pros only pay attention to our riding. Have you ever seen the rider of pro stock or top fuel bike back off when their opponent red lighted? None of them takes it easy unless the other rider does not make the call... If your mind and eyes are on anything other than your riding that would make you a dumbass with a lot of losses. But if you own a Harley I can understand worrying about reliability.
@boxmonkeyracing Sound like to me you lose a lot. It take more than .5 seconds to look up and get a good look at the light to see if you opponent red lighted. I think you need to stop talking out of your ass.
Joke of the day...
Why did Ford team up with HD on the limited edition Harley truck? Because they finally found another vehicle that is Found On Rod Dead. It was a perfect match.
@dobypaw riiiiggghhhtttt. .5 sec isn't long enough to see a big fat W over your lane. why do you think people install shift lights in drag cars? takes your brain less time to see a light then feedback from sound/watching a tach. so you're telling me you don't look up to see if you're headed down the lane straight? man I don't want to be on the track with you. you might come into my lane because you're busy watching your tach and waiting for that shift point.
@boxmonkeyracing Did I say I was looking down at the tach? You know what you just keep coming up with new excuses. This could go on and on... Go back to your garage and work on you unreliable Harley. Don't forget to put down some oil dry to soak up the oil!!! But one more question for you from my last post do you ever see the pro's take it easy after the other racer red lights? You can bet you last dollar Ricky Gadson runs hard every time that is why he is a 10 time champ same with John Force.
@dobypaw let me answer the redlight question first. they have money and rebuild after every pass. you and I probably do not. so longevity is an issue. no $ = no fix. second. if you can't notice a light while riding then you must not be looking down the lane. you assuming that all I ride is a harely, and leak oil is pretty funny and naive. you do know a concours 14 is a kawasaki? which runs cirlces around the v-rod. I just prefer clean racing. this video isn't it.
@boxmonkeyracing The leaking oil was a joke for all H-D guys I know a lot when it comes to H-D. I use to live in York, PA anyone who know H-D, knows the final assembly plant is there for the big twins. I have toured the plant many times and personally know several employees in the plant and I kinda busted my own balls. As I own a Buell XB12R with a sporty based motor. but I will say it is not Identical to the sportster. I do not like H-D because of the Buell closing. It will bite them in the end
@dobypaw at least Erick is going to Can-Am and it is rumored that Erick is going to have the go ahead to do what he wants with the bikes no restrictions like harley. the jap companies better watch out he bilds some bad ass bikes. i hope the rumors are true sport rider did a thing on him and he kinda confirmed it.
@dobypaw in my opinion the buell closing was due to them scrapping a whole years work and millions of dollars because they werent content with it lol but i also prefer buell over a regular harley
@kcmoto001 That is your opinion but Harley closed down Buell because IMO It was a personal issue... Erik was heading in a direction H-D did not want to do that was going head to head against the Jap bikes and the fact that Erik was working on getting rid of the air cooled Harley engine and going with a Austrian built rotax. I believe he had plans to end the sporty based motor in his bikes. Harley F'ed him big time... Guaranteed Can-Am will not because the look outside the box just like Erik!!!
@dobypaw sorry dude. getting rid of eric buell was the best thing they could ve done. those bikes are over engineered and a bitch to work on. you have to rotate the motor down just to change a spark plug on some of those things. TRASH!
@skudworth1983 FYI... Harley wanted to retain Erik's services to help in designing other Harley motorcycles. He refused and I do not blame him, would you stay with a company that killed your dream? Speaking of changing spark plugs have you ever changed them in the V-rod? If not be prepared to drop the motor from the frame look at the frame it is bolted together so you can take it apart to work on the POS. You can thank Erik for the super glide before starting Buell he helped design it.
@skudworth1983 Do research Erik helped H-D in many ways the fatbob has Eriks vision in with the front looks like an XB lightning. V-rod engine originally started out as the VR1000 super bike engine Erik helped engineer that engine. He also wanted the motor for his street bikes but H-D turn him down and turned it in to a 200+ pound boat anchor for the V-rod. In the VR1000 the motor weigh under 200 pounds. Maybe if H-D would over engineer their bikes they would not need 50+ year old technology.
@boxmonkeyracing The two pros I told you about only Force tears down every pass Gadson does not. Pro stock bikes do not as well you still do not see them back off. Sure they have the money if something breaks but what is the chance your Kawi or vrod muscle will brake? When I owned my ZRX 8 years ago I would run it down the 1/4 mile about 30 to 40 times a year and never had a problem with it. I would launch at 6000rpm and work the clutch pretty hard. I'm done with you have fun talking to yourself
@dobypaw Lol 30-40 times a year. try 30 times at 1 TNT trying to get the launch down and then blowing the engine just going to get a bite to eat the following friday. Seeing how I'm talking to myself have fun believing red lighting is still winning if you pass the line first.
@boxmonkeyracing You know what arguing with a Harley supporter is like pissing in the wind even when the bike is broke down on the road they will argue that is was not. You are a waste of my time. Any good drag racer does not take it easy during a drag meet. And if you were saying the destroyer back of it your full of shit the ZX would have walked away if he did that. I just proved my point that racers do not back out because he did not look at his opponents lights at the end. Your douche.
@dobypaw lmao. yea ok. way to assume things. I own/ed both a kawak and a v-rod musle. and guess which one has broken down on me. . .it wasn't the harely. maybe because the v-rod motor was inpart designed better then most engines harely builds, but still doesn't change the fact the concour 14 shut off on me while ridding. if you have limited funds to fix anything while racing you will do what you need to to keep racing. I never said he left off.
@dobypaw My whole argument has been this is not a good pass and therefore it is stupid to post zx-10r destroys. . .when in reality he lost. defending a pass like this is stupid. I have no doubt that on a legitiment pass the zx10r will win. it's lighter, it's got probably more power (depending on the year). but the thing is it's not geared the same as the destroyer. sorry you can't get it through your head that all I am saying is there needs to be a clean pass.
@taclow123 Me in my Dainese mesh jacket, Alpinestar Gloves, and my SevenZeroSeven Black Gloss Helmet on a Kymco People50 49cc stock baby blue scooter.. will beat both the ZX10 and the Destroyer. No Match.
I own a destroyer and a 2007 zx 10 with stock motor cut off exhaust lowered and streched 3 inches that run 9.37 et all day and my destroyer runs 10.20 et if its a good day! im harley to the core but the price to performence ratio is 100% to jap bikes!!!!
@davairs #30 in the 2010 points standings (the only Kaw of the 40 racers receiving points). Harley took #2 and #3, Buell #5 and #10. Also NHRA added a rule to add weight to the harleys and buells.
First time i went to the drag races,met this man racing a harley(lowerd,nitrous,bored and stoked,lighter,extended,wheelie bar,slick etc.etc)Me being a young dude at the time,very impressed with is high 10 sec. passes.Next week meet another racer,he rides a stock new fj1200 yamaha and does a a low 11sec pass and gets it into the high 10's durring the day(not so impressed with the harley no more.The week after he gets there with a slick and wheelie bar and does high 9sec passes.Harleys are slow!
5 low riders,2 buells and one v rod sitting at the table outside my brother inlaws restaurant(friends of the brother inlaw)There talking smack against my gsxr1000 and telling my how crappy it is,how all there screeming eagle kits are putting out so much torque and nothing could touch them(especially the v rod rider)Didnt say a word.put my pinks on the table ,said i would race them all take each bike home and sell them on ebay.Nobody accepted the challenge and they all stopped talking.THEY KNEW!!
Yes he redlighted but the harley didnt know it,he would have lost anyway.
That harley coudn"t even beat a stock litre sportsbike let alone a modded one.Slap a wheelie bar on gixxer or zx10 or r1 and you while go low into the 9 sec range.
I love american cars but harley's blow my granddad!!!
For the cheap seats...Not stock Kaw...Kaw red lighted..."win lane indicated to the Destroyer so the Destroyer knew he had already won.. Cyle Specialties are idiots to post this...oh fucking yeah...where is the make up race showing all of us where the Kaw wins...Oh Yeah, Kaw is better than Harley WTF we don't care. Win the fucking race and quit talkin shit...fucking...girlz...bend fold put in box sent to japan and quit making a pigs ear into a purse...morons. (2+2=4)=(KAW+IDIOT=LOSER)..BORING

The destruction is horsepower to money ratio.Yes, be barely red lighted,but still, for a 40k harley, he should've ate that kawi alive and gave him 2 bike length. Vrod is from harleys failed sportbike program in the 90's, the vr1000.thats why you have to dump 40k into it to get it to run w todays technology. Harley stands for outdated expensive bikes for fools

@surrynet The V-rod destroyer has more engine displacement by more than 250cc's more horse power as well. It is a factory drag bike that cost $32,000... For a bike that cost more than double of the ZX10. It should destroy any street bike... Harley has mislead the consumer by naming this V-rod the destroyer. This proves even with the help of Porshe Harley can fuck up a bike and make it slow for the money spent!!!
dobypaw 6 months ago
@dobypaw The Destroyer is fastest in the 2 cylinder street bikes, not 4 cylinders. Also 4cylinders rev up alot faster than 2 cylinders. Putting the Destroyer against a Busa or ZX10 would be like putting the fastest jap car against the ZR1 Vette, 2 cylinders against 4, the vette 8 clinders against jap cars 6 cylinders . PLUS the ZX10/Busa weigh far less. I'll agree with you, if I want speed I'd get a ZX10 or Busa. Both bike are good in their own rights Also any Harley will hold value better.

Like I said before, Harleys main purpose of the Destroyer is to go against other V Twins, not 4 cylinders.
surrynet 6 months ago
@surrynet For $60k you will get a 430hp car, that's not going to beat many cars on the block, if you are talking about ZR1, you better cough up $105k, and 911 Turbo S will beat it 0-60/ 1/4mile (ZR1 should take it at 120mph+ though), but on track they are not really that different. You get the 911 T-S for ~$160k. I guess you are either misinformed, or just guessing here ... But I guess u did not go to school at all?

you are comparing apples to oranges first of all the kawi is not stock and did red light, also did not "destroy" the vrod and v rod is set up for 1/4 mile and is a factory bike and is closer to 30k than 40k the kawi is a inline 4 vs vtwin and if you "tuned" the vrod as much as u did the kawi it would flat out smoke the kawi, you can youtube other vids and find out the vrod runs in high 9's right off the trailer and a "stock" kawi zx-10 does not come close

@1danandy @1danandy YES! The destroyer is a VERY nice bike..I would love to own one. Harley got that one right. But with all due respect, the new kawi 1000 will still best the destroyers 1/4 stock for a lot cheaper. But only a couple of 10ths. Even more when you tune it and take the emissions of and the gov restriction. The kawi weighs about 100 lbs less and comes with traction control. But the v rod def has a style all it's own and is very respectable machine. 9.89 is very kick ass.

@manjunk427 This was painfully homosexual. A Harley can wheelie. We fall far less than rice riders, as well. The obnoxious noise most rice bikes make is simply irritating. So is a big twin if it doesn't have a rumble. The fastest bikes in the world are big twins. My Harley makes 110lb/ft at 3k rpms. A Busa makes something like 60 at 10k.
wvXvxvXvw 8 months ago
@wvXvxvXvw False and homosexual. The '08 Busa makes about 90lb/ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. There is no replacement for displacement. The only reason Ducati (sexy) wins so much is because they are allowed a cc advantage, as twins inherently make less power than an equal sized inline four, but slightly more torque. That's besides the point though. Harleys are glorified pieces of shit. You pay for the name and the "image." In the end, a polished turd is still a turd.

@iZenSoda My Harley is more advanced than a Busa. Fuel injected, twin cam, high end and bullet proof 6 speed, more power. My Harley won't outrun one, but you are a complete idiot in attempting to claim they are behind in technology. You probably still ride some rice piece of shit with a carb.
wvXvxvXvw 8 months ago
@wvXvxvXvw Let me put this in simple terms for you, assuming you're talking about a V-Rod, as you never even specified what bike you have. The V-Rod is very advanced (German engineering), and it's Harleys dedicated drag bike. It is a very good bike for what it does. Even so, the Hayabusa is more powerful, faster, and costs less all while being a street touring bike. The Busa is fugly though, unlike the V-Rod. But it's still faster. Period. Have a nice day. I own a modest 09 Ninja 650r, btw.

@wvXvxvXvw Ha ha WTF.. Harley still uses PUSH RODS, TWO VALVE heads and AIR COOLED ENGINES, and SINGLE PIN CRANKS. Thats way behind. And how much will they charge you for that? Yes, the v rod is a nice bike, but derives from the vr 1000 which was their FAILED sport bike in the 90's. It's 90's technology..But a very nice respectable bike. Ha ha.. but funny carb joke.. V rod is one of my fav bikes by the way.
badbanshee370 8 months ago
@badbanshee370 Hey, you're absolutely right about most Harley's being push-rod, air-cooled, etc. I was just curious if you knew the v-rod was double over head cam and liquid cooled. It was developed jointly with Porsche (cool eh?). I apologize if your comment was more in line with a previous post. I admit I didn't read very far down the list. Also, I'll admit no matter how cool the V-Rod (I prefer the night rod) is it won't touch a Japanese bike.

@rcktpilot Actually I am a huge fan of the Vrod.Luv the bike.but it's not more advanced that the New busa motor. HP and performance = advanced. Proof is in the numbers. I am also a huge fan of the night rod. The vrod is a great engine. It derived from the vr1000 in the 90's..Which was Harleys attempted sport bike program. I also love the looks of a vrod. I wish Harley people would really see that that bike is the future of Harley as was full of fresh ideas. It really is in a class all it's own.
badbanshee370 7 months ago
@badbanshee370 the vrods engine was derived from the vr1000- but do you know who helped design the vr1000?? Buell- and when high time came to make the vrod engine, eric thought 'yes now i can make a sportbike with this engine' problem was that the vrods engine is 60lbs heavier than eric wanted.

@badbanshee370 Mine made 95 stock, 110 now(tuned with bolt ons). At 3k. The Busa makes 93-99(I was wrong, but the new Harley does in fact make more torque) at 7k. The fact is new fuel injected twin cam HDs do make more torque. Doesn't make them faster, the big Harleys are 7-800lbs. But it is still impressive. Its the reason Harley absolutely obliterate the rice bikes in NHRA drag events.
wvXvxvXvw 8 months ago
@wvXvxvXvw Sir that is def good numbers anyway you look at it and is not your average Harley. I respect numbers. But again how many cc is your bike? Busa is 1340. A stock 1340 hd makes 50 bhp and 50 lbs/ft.So they don't compare.busa makes more torque. If you put your cc and money into that busa..End of story. As for NHRA, I'm talking about something the average man can buy at a dealer. NHRA has motors that are not harley and have grease packed bottom ends.
badbanshee370 8 months ago
And what stock Harley was this? The 1580 only made 70 ponies and 70 lbs of torque.. You could get the 110 cubic in with the screaming eagle kit but was an arm and a leg and isn't considered STOCK.

@badbanshee370 i think you are missing the point with the use of the word stock as it relates to vehicle manufacturers...anything that the factory produces...that can be bought through a dealership from the manufacturer is considered stock...maybe this is where your argument should lie....

@wvXvxvXvw If I brought a 1340 cc busa to the dealers and said I wan't a equal displacement kit as the 110 ci screaming eagle and wanted to go to 1800 cc on the busa and lined it up with any 1800cc harley.. Harley wouldn't stand a chance and it would make double the torque as a harley. the 110 ci motor is already 460 more cc and barely out torques it STOCK for a fraction of the price, and they are designed for that hp out the box.

boxmonkeyracing 10 months ago
@boxmonkeyracing If you listen to each bike taking off the Kawi's red light and head start was minimal...If they both left on green the Kawi would have still cross the line first and in front of a factory built drag bike. That is the point here a dude with a lowered, stretched stock motor zx10 is faster than a factory race bike. The dude had time to look back and wave to him and that was only an 1/8 mile where the v-twin excels.
dobypaw 10 months ago
@dobypaw do you race? sure as hell doesn't sound like it. sounds to me you are defending a bad pass with excuses. but I'll play your excuse game. being that I have made quite a few passes and know when I have noticed the other lane had redlighted I don't push the bike/car as hard as I would if it was a good pass. besides it's a .2-.5 sec jump. good enough jump to be in the powerband before the other bike is off the line.
boxmonkeyracing 10 months ago
@boxmonkeyracing .2 to .5 is just a tick faster than a blink of an eye. You can not tell if he jumped if you were on the other bike because you are looking at your lights and not the other rider or his lights. Yes I use to race a ZRX1200R a 10 second bike. I never payed attention to the other rider. I always ran hard every pass unless the other rider could not make the call. If you took it easy because you think the other guy red lighted your not a true racer.
dobypaw 10 months ago
@dobypaw I guess you forgot about the big end lights. Like this video has. a big fat W in the left lane. if you are focusing on the launch and lights then you won't see a red light but after you're out of the hole and headed down the track you can usually see a light. once seeing said light at the big end, the only reason to keep pushing your bike is practice or being a dumbass. if this is a competition race you're a dumb ass. test N tune it's practice.

@boxmonkeyracing I know there are lights on the timing board. Myself and many riders including the pros only pay attention to our riding. Have you ever seen the rider of pro stock or top fuel bike back off when their opponent red lighted? None of them takes it easy unless the other rider does not make the call... If your mind and eyes are on anything other than your riding that would make you a dumbass with a lot of losses. But if you own a Harley I can understand worrying about reliability.

@dobypaw I pay attention to what I'm doing. but .5 sec while waiting to shift you can look up and see a light.

@boxmonkeyracing Sound like to me you lose a lot. It take more than .5 seconds to look up and get a good look at the light to see if you opponent red lighted. I think you need to stop talking out of your ass.
Joke of the day...
Why did Ford team up with HD on the limited edition Harley truck? Because they finally found another vehicle that is Found On Rod Dead. It was a perfect match.

@dobypaw riiiiggghhhtttt. .5 sec isn't long enough to see a big fat W over your lane. why do you think people install shift lights in drag cars? takes your brain less time to see a light then feedback from sound/watching a tach. so you're telling me you don't look up to see if you're headed down the lane straight? man I don't want to be on the track with you. you might come into my lane because you're busy watching your tach and waiting for that shift point.
btw I hate ford.

@boxmonkeyracing Did I say I was looking down at the tach? You know what you just keep coming up with new excuses. This could go on and on... Go back to your garage and work on you unreliable Harley. Don't forget to put down some oil dry to soak up the oil!!! But one more question for you from my last post do you ever see the pro's take it easy after the other racer red lights? You can bet you last dollar Ricky Gadson runs hard every time that is why he is a 10 time champ same with John Force.

@dobypaw let me answer the redlight question first. they have money and rebuild after every pass. you and I probably do not. so longevity is an issue. no $ = no fix. second. if you can't notice a light while riding then you must not be looking down the lane. you assuming that all I ride is a harely, and leak oil is pretty funny and naive. you do know a concours 14 is a kawasaki? which runs cirlces around the v-rod. I just prefer clean racing. this video isn't it.

@boxmonkeyracing The leaking oil was a joke for all H-D guys I know a lot when it comes to H-D. I use to live in York, PA anyone who know H-D, knows the final assembly plant is there for the big twins. I have toured the plant many times and personally know several employees in the plant and I kinda busted my own balls. As I own a Buell XB12R with a sporty based motor. but I will say it is not Identical to the sportster. I do not like H-D because of the Buell closing. It will bite them in the end

@dobypaw at least Erick is going to Can-Am and it is rumored that Erick is going to have the go ahead to do what he wants with the bikes no restrictions like harley. the jap companies better watch out he bilds some bad ass bikes. i hope the rumors are true sport rider did a thing on him and he kinda confirmed it.

@dobypaw in my opinion the buell closing was due to them scrapping a whole years work and millions of dollars because they werent content with it lol but i also prefer buell over a regular harley
kcmoto001 7 months ago
@kcmoto001 That is your opinion but Harley closed down Buell because IMO It was a personal issue... Erik was heading in a direction H-D did not want to do that was going head to head against the Jap bikes and the fact that Erik was working on getting rid of the air cooled Harley engine and going with a Austrian built rotax. I believe he had plans to end the sporty based motor in his bikes. Harley F'ed him big time... Guaranteed Can-Am will not because the look outside the box just like Erik!!!

kcmoto001 7 months ago
@dobypaw sorry dude. getting rid of eric buell was the best thing they could ve done. those bikes are over engineered and a bitch to work on. you have to rotate the motor down just to change a spark plug on some of those things. TRASH!
skudworth1983 6 months ago
@skudworth1983 FYI... Harley wanted to retain Erik's services to help in designing other Harley motorcycles. He refused and I do not blame him, would you stay with a company that killed your dream? Speaking of changing spark plugs have you ever changed them in the V-rod? If not be prepared to drop the motor from the frame look at the frame it is bolted together so you can take it apart to work on the POS. You can thank Erik for the super glide before starting Buell he helped design it.
dobypaw 6 months ago
@skudworth1983 Do research Erik helped H-D in many ways the fatbob has Eriks vision in with the front looks like an XB lightning. V-rod engine originally started out as the VR1000 super bike engine Erik helped engineer that engine. He also wanted the motor for his street bikes but H-D turn him down and turned it in to a 200+ pound boat anchor for the V-rod. In the VR1000 the motor weigh under 200 pounds. Maybe if H-D would over engineer their bikes they would not need 50+ year old technology.

@boxmonkeyracing The two pros I told you about only Force tears down every pass Gadson does not. Pro stock bikes do not as well you still do not see them back off. Sure they have the money if something breaks but what is the chance your Kawi or vrod muscle will brake? When I owned my ZRX 8 years ago I would run it down the 1/4 mile about 30 to 40 times a year and never had a problem with it. I would launch at 6000rpm and work the clutch pretty hard. I'm done with you have fun talking to yourself

@dobypaw Lol 30-40 times a year. try 30 times at 1 TNT trying to get the launch down and then blowing the engine just going to get a bite to eat the following friday. Seeing how I'm talking to myself have fun believing red lighting is still winning if you pass the line first.

@boxmonkeyracing You know what arguing with a Harley supporter is like pissing in the wind even when the bike is broke down on the road they will argue that is was not. You are a waste of my time. Any good drag racer does not take it easy during a drag meet. And if you were saying the destroyer back of it your full of shit the ZX would have walked away if he did that. I just proved my point that racers do not back out because he did not look at his opponents lights at the end. Your douche.
dobypaw 9 months ago
@dobypaw lmao. yea ok. way to assume things. I own/ed both a kawak and a v-rod musle. and guess which one has broken down on me. . .it wasn't the harely. maybe because the v-rod motor was inpart designed better then most engines harely builds, but still doesn't change the fact the concour 14 shut off on me while ridding. if you have limited funds to fix anything while racing you will do what you need to to keep racing. I never said he left off.
boxmonkeyracing 9 months ago
@dobypaw My whole argument has been this is not a good pass and therefore it is stupid to post zx-10r destroys. . .when in reality he lost. defending a pass like this is stupid. I have no doubt that on a legitiment pass the zx10r will win. it's lighter, it's got probably more power (depending on the year). but the thing is it's not geared the same as the destroyer. sorry you can't get it through your head that all I am saying is there needs to be a clean pass.

davairs 1 year ago
@davairs #30 in the 2010 points standings (the only Kaw of the 40 racers receiving points). Harley took #2 and #3, Buell #5 and #10. Also NHRA added a rule to add weight to the harleys and buells.

@totaltru
Yes he redlighted but the harley didnt know it,he would have lost anyway.
That harley coudn"t even beat a stock litre sportsbike let alone a modded one.Slap a wheelie bar on gixxer or zx10 or r1 and you while go low into the 9 sec range.
I love american cars but harley's blow my granddad!!!
