Rocket III vs Kawasaki H2 race

[Claviger]

I'd love to see this done with my bike or Steels instead of a clearly handicapped stockish bike.

Put a rope between the 2 bikes and have tug o war.

A more even contest put the R3 in a tug o war with a boss hog , it would be like a Tundra against our 700 Hp Mack the Mack would pull the Tundra backwards idling in high Range

Ooh, I'm not so sure about that Cusso.
1 or 2 gears vs 5, theres a chance the R3 actually puts more torque to the ground in 1st than the hoss does...

<off I go to research gear ratios>

Never mind, the hoss puts about 90lb-ft more to the ground using the 1 speed than even a carp R3 does

The automatic gear box on the Boss Hoss would be an advantage as well the rider could spool up the auto with the brakes on and then WAM let it all hang out, as I said Horses for causes ,old mate Seani Plunkett has the perfect power unit (R3)for his sidecar I cannot think of a better bike to pull a chair, and I loved my Touring for two up trips ,

Yeah it's hard to argue with displacement and the hoss..well..shes got more than enough of it!

That will sort the men from the power rangers !

So will ZIG ZAG HILL near Shaftsbury. An R3 has no bloody chance. Your better off on a Curry Burner.

Very true. For some strange reason, I feel like the German speaking countries cannot really deal with Rocket tuning. That Rocket probably had stock clutch springs and even the stock speed limiter in place. They should check out how TTS, Carpenter or Neville Lush do things.

But there may be hope: German tuner @Penner also did a Rocket featured in Motorrad Magazine recently, and that one reportedly blew an R1 away. He seems to be a great bloke, and he is actually in this forum as well.

Q: From the article - what was non stock on the H2? - If you still have it in German text - I am still near fluent.

I know that hill . Bloody Hell, you would need a couple of bites at some of them corners on a rocket !

I think you can get pills to help that ?
