Harley dude talking smack!

Not to throw fuel on the Harley fire again but I agree...he was disillusion unless he was riding a bike that had well over $50k in it. You can make a big twin go fast if you are willing to pay for it, but why? My ultra limited is for one purpose...taking nice long cruises with the boss on the back and the softail breakout is in the garage because I'm too hard headed to back down from a challenge, but if I was wanting pure speed I wouldn't be riding any of the three bikes in my stable...I would be on a tricked out busa and anyone who could catch me could talk all the smack they wanted. Having said that, the Rocket is definitely my ride of choice...puts a smile on my face every time.

This harley dude said that "These guys with busas don't want any of me!" He'll still out run you if you did have a busa.

New busa's have a speed limiter of 186 and cannot be altered. I am just getting into 5th gear on the Falcon. Sure you can build one that will go faster Bill Warner did 311 in the mile at lorin main with his big bore busa turb 40 psi boost. I doubt he had a stock ecu in it though. I believe it is a record that will stand the test of time.

I don't think we could have beat him on the Falcon.....But I do believe I could have beaten your 207:p on your Falcon

The fastest Bike I have ever rode was a 2001 Busa....It was tricked out some

All I can tell you it was pulling just as hard at 200+ as it was at 120 mph...I just ran out of road...A busa don't start running good until about 120

Between 160 and 180 the busa felt like my Rocket around 110mph.......Two totally diff. Machines

**** I hate getting OLD.
